HP ThinShell Administrator Guide

3 Tips and best practices
Consider the following information when using HP ThinShell:
●
Some applications might require a launch delay to function properly.
●
When setting Internet Explorer as an auto-started application, be sure to launch the version that
best matches the operating system (32-bit or 64-bit), otherwise the end-of-session action might
not properly trigger.
●
HP ThinShell does not filter the Kiosk Mode web browser content. Keep this in mind when
selecting the websites. The web browser can be further locked down using the following:
◦
Group Policy
◦
Internet Explorer registry restrictions (see
Internet Explorer registry restrictions
on page 5 for more information)
If the web browser is intended to be used for intranet only, it is best to disable the address bar
and add links to the Sites menu.
