Well, as best as I can tell from the research I have done...you have two options available as IE itself cannot be made to do this.
[list=1] Code a front end to the IE control that only provides what you want
Disable the scancode for CTRL-H (remap it as 00 00)[/list=1]Of course, you'll need a programmer for either option. :dead: :cash:

I like the scan code idea. Your post prompted a search... and nice results:

I didn't know that there was a built in scan-code mapper I could 'play' with in Windows!!!!

Very cool, of course my idea of kiosk security involves the use of .50 cailber Browing machine guns and motion sensors...but anyhow, that's a topic for another day. If you get it working, please post back the Registry hacks or code you end up writing.

I couldn't get the Scan Code registry item to accept Scan Codes for CTRL-H. It seems I can do CTRL, and/or H keys separately but not the combination.

I'd do CTRL, but that's keep CTRL-ALT-DELETE from letting users restart machines too!

back to the drawing board....:mad:

Hmm, well ain't that a real PITA. You could always seek out a coder to try and craft something that runs on top of IE to handle the scan codes...:whatthe:
