Hi.

I want to put a kiosk computer in my company's store, and I want our website
to be running on the screen without giving customers or browsers the ability
to close/minimize it, or switch to the desktop, or even make manual changes
to the URL.
Is that possible? is there a 3rd party software I need for that? or can that
be done within windows?
