Yes, it in fact works in AMS 3 !!!
May be I am wrong, But I think that the "Full Screen" properrty
for AMS 4 Web Browser Object is still necessary for 2 reasons:
1. Simplicity and Convenience, and
2. It will save the system resources (Instead of runing AMS 4
build and Internet Explorer at the same time in 2 different
full screen windows, We will have only 1 (AMS) window with
build in Full Screen Browser).
Am I wrong ???

Thank You Very Much Derek !!!
I Just did it and it works, and I am Happy !!!
I think this method should work in AMS 3 also.
What do you think ?

Tip: you'll probably want to use this path instead:
%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
...just in case the user doesn't have Program Files in the root of their C: drive... [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]Leave a comment:

You don't even need to use a batch file. Just use a File - Execute action, and pass the same command line arguments. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]Leave a comment:

Re: No, it's not as complicated as that...
It doesn't matter what the system default browser is, all win95 + machines have iexplore installed, so for consistency you'll find this code works best as a one-size-fits-all solution. Obviously the nice thing here also is that you know all the users will be visiting using IE so you can accomodate for that with your web page...
I don't mess with NS and Opera in cases like this personally, you'll drive yourself quite mad trying to accomodate every possible derivation... Can you imagine trying to make a web application which works identically in NS 4, IE 6, NS6, AND Opera 5+? That's like trying to catch a greased piglet on an ice rink whilst wearing cement shoes, not fun. Believe me, I have spent hundreds of maddening hours in my carreer addressing those sort of hair-greying issues and I have found that the above code is the very best compromise.
Don't forget NS has no true kiosk mode, there will always be a title bar in NS...
That being said I don't think it's too hard to determine the system default browser, and you can do the same thing as above, kiosk mode, using javascript too. So if you simply use a web link in your presentation that would work too, i.e. try pasting the following code into your browser's location bar to see what I mean:
javascript: window.open('http://www.indigorose.com','newwin','fullscreen');
As for the MPEG volume thing, it's out of my league but I'm sure one of the gigantic brains in our fine organization will latch onto those posts at some point here, if not try reposting after a day or two...Leave a comment:

Re: No, it's not as complicated as that...
Mad Cubist, You are Genius !!!!!!!!
I just tried Your kiosk.bat file, and it works Perfectly !!!
Exactly what I needed.
Thank You VERY VERY MUCH !!!!!!
Second time You are helping me, and I really appreciate that.
I only concerned about 1 issue. What if the User has Netscape
or Opera set as default browser ?
Is there any way to make .bat file to start DEFAULT browser
rather than IEXPLORER ???
I also posted two other posts regarding MPEG Volume Control
problems, but it seems no one can figure out a solution to that.
Would You be so kind to take a look at them whenever You
have time ? Here is the links:
and
Thanks again for Your INVALUABLE Advice !!!!
