| 574422 | 2007-07-31 03:42:00 | Hi People, I am setting up some Kiosks for work that allow staff to login to a site and view their payslips, employment history and leave entitlement ,etc. I need to disable the history in Internet Explorer through the use of Group Policys on our domains OU and i can't seem to work out how to disable this from the View -- Explorer Bar -- History or Ctrl + H. I have already tested setting the History to 0 days, but the thing is it will remember history until you turn it off, these PCs are set to never be turned off as their is no 'Log Off' button. Payslips are kept in a pdf so it makes it easy for users to view these through history after logging out of their account, which we don't want. I've searched the internet, the closest i got was a registry edit for Internet Explorer 5.5, sadly the path it took me to didn't exist. Help would be much appreciated, as this has me stumped. |

| 574423 | 2007-07-31 04:09:00 | For something like that I would suggest Firefox due to it being a more secure browser especially were personal information is concerned. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 574424 | 2007-07-31 04:12:00 | I'd second that - IE6 has a few rather serious security issues. Im not sure about IE but FF has an option to "always clear private data when I close Firefox" You can also automatically delete cookies, saved form/passowrds etc etc on a daily basis, IE is not nearly that customizable. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 574425 | 2007-07-31 04:15:00 | Failing that a simple script might be required to remove the browsing history once the person has logged out. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 574426 | 2007-07-31 04:33:00 | one problem, our network doesn't really support FireFox, and the group policy is set to not allow Internet Explorer to be closed. We're in a corporate environment, so people squeal when it's not what's standard. | sweetinnocence (7223) | ||
| 574427 | 2007-07-31 04:36:00 | What version of windows are we talking about? 2000? XP? Server? Or are we talking about some other OS? |

| 574428 | 2007-07-31 04:36:00 | Get rid of history: www.tweakxp.com then: Disable History Modification: malektips.com Don't know if that will be enough but worth a try. |

| 574429 | 2007-07-31 04:38:00 | Hmm that makes things compliacted. FF will delete data every day without closing anything... IE on the other hand....I can't find an option to do that without manually clicking stuff. It loosk like winmacguy's idea of running a script might be the easiest... | wratterus (105) | ||
| 574430 | 2007-07-31 04:40:00 | How about setting up the kiosks on thin clients? Have the OS (including IE) downloaded from a server for each session. Your application is handling private information, so you don't want histories or files hanging around in caches. That should be pretty secure. ;) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 574431 | 2007-07-31 04:53:00 | If only it was that simple, with thin client... we already have 6 new Fat PCs ;-) i think the scripting solution would be the best answer at this stage, would need to get our guys who look after our website to edit this. Thanks though |
