Ok I actually work for Microsoft so its ironic I need to come somewhere else for the answer lol.
Anyway here is the situation.
We are sent Flash drives so that 90% of our work is done at home.
My OS is windows 7 ultimate 64
The flash drive will load up an emulated windows xp system in kiosk mode.
I can get override the kiosk by unplugging monitor 1, replugging it back in, then clicking anywhere on monitor 2. Normally you can not move the mouse over to monitor 2, this allows that.
However as I'm working in help desk their forced kiosk is preventing me from viewing websites and using tools I NEED in order to get things taken care of, no matter how much they say everything I need is in the emulated windows, it just is not and I need to keep switching out of it.
Basically it just is not convenient for me at all, and if I'm in a rush constantly unplugging and replugging in monitor one just so i can look something up then switch back is going to cause some communication problems as I'm more focused and aggravated by the entire process of getting out of kiosk lol.
I know quite a bit about computers (autodidact) but changing Kiosk settings loaded from a flash drive is not something I'm familiar with.
A few options I have seen are to load local services in windows 7 and edit them but I'm not sure where as this loads from a flash drive.
Also I have seen some registry changes, but again all these suggestions were pertaining to people with the kiosk enabled app being on the hard drive, not a secured uneditable flash drive.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
As a side question, is there also anyway to force the kiosk app (emulated windows xp) to use all of my monitors instead of just monitor one.
They actually know I use a trick to get out of kiosk (they didn't bother asking how) so its not job threatening, but they also refuse to tell any of us how to do it effectively lol.
