The Application Viewer component is kiosk software that handles the execution of the web application (ie, it is a hardened Microsoft Internet Explorer secure browser); however, the browser interface is hidden from the user. The title, menu, url and status bars are deactivated so that it isn't obvious to the user that they are running a web application. It provides security by preventing users and other processes from accessing the OS, provides Domain List blocking, browser toolbar functionality is optional, displays multiple attract screens when not in use, warns the user either with a configurable dialog box and/or audibly that their session is about to end, and resets the application back to the home page, including optionally running a logoff script, after a defined period of inactivity.
