Is there a way to lock the full screen?

[dcarey]

I mean can I allow only some users to access to the rest of the PC? I don´t want the waiters to be allowed to minimize SambaPOS and get access to other stuff.

You can actually lock the computer down to where the ONLY thing they would have access too is Samba even if they did minimize it…

@emre

WARNING. GROUP POLICIES CONTAINS FEATURES THAT CAN LOCK DOWN YOUR COMPUTER. CREATE BACKUPS (INCLUDING WORKING IMAGES) BEFORE START AND FOLLOW ALL STEPS CAREFULLY.

THIS FEATURE WORKS FOR ONLY WINDOWS PRO AND UPPER VERSIONS.

YOU SHOULD BE AN ADMINISTRATOR.

BE SURE SAMBAPOS LOCAL SETTINGS CONFIGURED FINE FOR WINDOWS ACCOUNTS YOU’LL TEST.

Hello. Sorry for writing too much warnings. In this tutorial I’ll show you how to setup your terminals to only run SambaPOS. When a non-administrator windows user logs in SambaPOS will automatically start and automatically logoff when SambaPOS closed. Users will not be able to access anything other than SambaPOS.

Thank you very much. I didn´t know that Kiosk Mode in English was the same as full screen. That´s why I couldn´t find the tutorial.

The way that I have mine setup is :-
just realised that this may not be available in windows 7 or above and possibly only in server edition

In SambaPOS role setting the staff users have the ‘can restore full screen’ unticked
in windows user account for the particular users - under the ‘Environment’ tab I have ‘start the following program at logon ticked’ and the full path to Samba.Presentation.exe

When a user logs on to remote desktop SambaPOS automatically starts! and when a users quits out of SambaPOS then this also logs the user out of the windows session.

Users cannot access anything else on the remote desktop pc at all

Hope that helps
