StoreFront 3.6
Question:
Often the customers who are in hospital environment have the question that - "Can Receiver be run in Kiosk Mode?" - The condition being that we cannot apply receiver policies from GPOs and the following conditions:
> We should not use PNAgent site.
> App shortcuts should only be present on the desktop and no where else.
> App shortcut should be removed once the user logs off or exit the receiver.
> User should not be able to save Username | password.

Answer:
The following registries first of all have to be modified:
PutShortcutsOnDesktop – True

The additions are:
REG_SZ – InitialRefreshMinMs – 1
REG_SZ – RemoveAppsOnLogoff – True
REG_SZ – RemoveAppsOnExit – True

Now moving on the configure Username and password cannot be saved - It would have been easy if we used PNAgent site - as the Dazzle key - AllowSavePwd works with PNAgent but not with Store Site.
Hence the below changes have to be done:

“@SaveCredential(id: @GetTextValue("saveCredentialsId"), labelKey: "ExplicitFormsCommon:SaveCredentialsLabel", initiallyChecked: ControlValue("SaveCredentials"))
UsernamePassword - TFRM file
Basically the above is the line which gives user permission to save the password. Hence you may either comment this line (<!-- “@SaveCredential(id: @GetTextValue("saveCredentialsId"), labelKey: "ExplicitFormsCommon:SaveCredentialsLabel", initiallyChecked: ControlValue("SaveCredentials")) -->) OR delete it.
