Support Request: Autostart + Shell replacement by custom application

Description

Hi, our company has a large number of licensed SiteKiosk 6.x (Win XP 32 bit) and 7.x (Win 7 64 bit).

We wrote an application to create a new configuration file, but we don't know exactly how to apply the new configuratin by our application.

We written the Winlogon/Shell key as explained by this article http://www.sitekiosk.com/CustomerSupportCenter/ArticleDetails.aspx?ArticleID=18732 . It works for the SiteKiosk 6, but not for the 7.

Could you kindly help us asap?

Best regards,
Antonio Petricca

Hello,

the SiteKiosk configuraiton file (.skcfg) does not contain the start settings.
Generally the start settings (written to the Windows Registry) haven’t changed since SiteKiosk 6 but with SiteKiosk 7 and higher I would advice using the “SKStartup.exe” together with a prepared XML to set the start settings.

First you need to configure the start options you want to use in the “Custom” start settings:
When done you export these settings to a XML file.

This XML can be used then as parameter with the “SKStartup.exe” to set the start options on Windows.

1.3 Customized and 7. Export SiteKiosk startup options
