SiteKiosk allows you to run computers in kiosk mode. This is useful in safeguarding public-access Internet-PCs, displays, and tablets. With the Start-Screen Template and a WYSIWYG editor, you can easily design your Start Screens using drag & drop. It also provides a set of on-screen keyboards which can be displayed or hidden for certain URLs or automatically appear when text input is required.
The surfing area allows you to define the URLs the user is allowed to access. You can, for instance, restrict the user's access to only your organization's websites.
