Hopefully someone can help me here!
I have an express 15 minute kiosk intended for quick printing or email
checks. When a user comes up to the station, they have to press a button
on screen to say they read/agree to the user policies of the library
before using the station. Every 5 minutes and on the last minute they are
warned about how much time they have left. At the end of 15 minutes,
everything is closed, the desktop is wiped, and they're booted off. While
a user (and abuser) could simply wait a moment as the station resets and
log back on, usually the inconvenience of losing all their work every 15
minutes is enough to dissuade them from doing so.
We currently have a program that works like this, but it will only run on
XP. I'd like to update the station to 7, so I need a replacement. Remote
access would be a plus, but it's not necessary.
I'm not worried about keeping the station secure because we have Deep
Freeze. All I'm looking for is that timer functionality.
Thank you!
