KIOSK Mode no Auto Login

[ProPenguin]

Does anyone know how to make it where you set your client to do kiosk mode but instead of logging in, it just goes to the CTRLALTDELETE screen?

Thank you

It sounds like what you want is a floating non-persistent pool, not Kiosk Mode. This would allow users to log in with their credentials and get a temporary desktop that would be re-usable when they log off.

My client is a NC190 Monitor and unfortunately I need the same monitor to have the same machine every time. Though that is not the problem. I would like the monitor to go to the VMs CTRLALTDELETE screen during KIOSK mode instead of just automatically logging in. It may not be possible and I will get over it but I was hoping maybe someone else had done this.

Just an idea, but you should be able to do this by setting up some restrictions for your kiosk-account on the desktop that it is connecting to.

1. Make sure the kiosk-user is not allowed to logon to the desktop (only entitled to connect to the pool)

2. Use another (perhaps local) account / for the logon to your desktop
