What are you looking for? A way to programatically close IE?

Basicly YES. I have a script to do that and can embed that a hyperlink into the Kiosk web page, however if I click it I get the "you are downloading file command box" because of this it needs the user to click open to get out of kiosk mode.

The following code will close out IE for you.

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = 'iexplore.exe'")

For Each objProcess in colProcessList
    objProcess.Terminate()
Next

Hi mark, I am invoking kiosk mode by using a script which I intend to put in the Login part of the AD OU
CODE:
Set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "iexplore -k ""\\servername\Test web page.htm"""

(This will be a rolling set of web pages with various items of interest to the users, ie:-school match results, events, news items etc)
On these pages I will have the link to enable the closing of the kiosk pages. I also intend to put a disclaimer note to the effect that by leaving the page the user is bound by the schools policy.
All good so far, except for this box which pops up when I try to run the ie close.vbs
I assume it is a security (web page) setting?

IN IE settings, on the Security TAb. Change the settings for the local intranet. There are a number of script related items. THe menus are a little different between versions so it is hard to be more specific. You should find that if you allow scripted control of IE windows I think you will not be prompted.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Thanks now looking, also checking out IFRAME linking as a possible solution.
