Windows Kiosk 应用程序

Windows Kiosk App

提问by Darthg8r

So, I need to build a kiosk type of application for use in an internet cafe. The app needs to load and display some options of things to do. One option is to launch IE to surf. Another option is to play a game.

因此，我需要构建一个用于网吧的自助服务终端类型的应用程序。该应用程序需要加载并显示一些要做的事情的选项。一种选择是启动 IE 浏览。另一种选择是玩游戏。

I've been reading that what I probably want to do is replace the windows shell and have it run my app when the OS loads. I'd also have to disable the task manager.

我一直在读我可能想要做的是替换 Windows shell 并让它在操作系统加载时运行我的应用程序。我还必须禁用任务管理器。

This is a multipart question.

这是一个多部分问题。

• Can I use dotnet to create this?
• What OS do I have to use? I keep seeing windows xp embedded pop up in my readings
• Will there be any issues with the app occasionally loading IE?
• Are there any other tasks that I should be aware of when doing this? Other than task manager and replacing the shell.
• If I can do it in c#, is there anything in particular that I should know about? Maybe my forms have to inherit certain classes, etc...

• 我可以使用 dotnet 来创建它吗？
• 我必须使用什么操作系统？我一直看到 windows xp 嵌入在我的阅读中
• 应用偶尔加载IE会不会有问题？
• 在执行此操作时，我还应该注意其他任何任务吗？除了任务管理器和更换外壳。
• 如果我可以在 c# 中做到这一点，有什么特别我应该知道的吗？也许我的表单必须继承某些类，等等...

in fact you can host IE control on your winform/wpf application, so no need to open IE.

事实上，你可以在你的 winform/wpf 应用程序上托管 IE 控件，所以不需要打开 IE。

?If I can do it in c#, is there anything in particular that I should know about? Maybe my forms have to inherit certain classes, etc...

there is nothing particular about kiosk application. just you need to have you app on top of everything even taskbar. hide minimize/restore/close buttons. provide a alternate way to close your app eg. by key combination

kiosk 应用程序没有什么特别之处。只是您需要将您的应用程序放在所有内容甚至任务栏之上。隐藏最小化/恢复/关闭按钮。提供关闭应用程序的替代方法，例如。通过组合键

you could build an ASP.NET application that runs on the local machine (XP Pro, Vista Business, 7 Pro). Then when the OS boots, you can launch IE in kiosk mode

您可以构建在本地计算机（XP Pro、Vista Business、7 Pro）上运行的 ASP.NET 应用程序。然后当操作系统启动时，您可以在 kiosk 模式下启动 IE

basically you create an IE shortcut in your Startup folder, and the shortcut points to

基本上你在你的启动文件夹中创建一个 IE 快捷方式，快捷方式指向

“C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE” –k

“C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE” –k

an ASP.NET web application can launch local EXE's if it has the right permissions.

如果 ASP.NET Web 应用程序具有正确的权限，则它可以启动本地 EXE。

You could use a windows service that would kick off your UI that could have your games in it AND a web browser CONTROL (WinForms/WPF). This could greatly simplify your task of securing the UI, because you would just need to set permissions on the windows service / app rather than trying to lock down the entire OS. Futhermore, you could use an additional service to provide some redundancy and always check if your UI program is still running. IF a user somehow got the window to close, this background service could just boot your kiosk app up again (also useful if it crashes). Hereis also an example of how to disable the task manager on this machine.

您可以使用 Windows 服务来启动您的 UI，其中可以包含您的游戏和 Web 浏览器控件（WinForms/WPF）。这可以大大简化您保护 UI 的任务，因为您只需要在 Windows 服务/应用程序上设置权限，而不是试图锁定整个操作系统。此外，您可以使用附加服务来提供一些冗余，并始终检查您的 UI 程序是否仍在运行。如果用户以某种方式关闭窗口，此后台服务可以再次启动您的自助服务终端应用程序（如果它崩溃也很有用）。这里也是一个如何在这台机器上禁用任务管理器的例子。

I recently had to do the same kind of kiosk software as you. I myself am running a C++ software with Qt bu you could do it in C# .Net as well.

我最近不得不做和你一样的自助服务终端软件。我自己正在使用 Qt 运行 C++ 软件，但您也可以在 C# .Net 中运行。

You can easily replace the shell using the following registery :

您可以使用以下注册表轻松替换外壳：

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell

To avoid login when the computer start you can also set the following fields in Winlogon :

为了避免在计算机启动时登录，您还可以在 Winlogon 中设置以下字段：

AutoAdminLogon = 1

DefaultUserName = “USERNAME”

DefaultPassword = “PASSWORD”

DefaultDomainName = “ComputerName” : e.g : USERNAME-PC

自动管理员登录 = 1

默认用户名 = “用户名”

默认密码 = “密码”

DefaultDomainName =“ComputerName”：例如：USERNAME-PC

Be aware that you cannot use this method to start a software as administrator. If that is your purpose I could give you a few tricks in that direction as well.

请注意，您不能使用此方法以管理员身份启动软件。如果这是你的目的，我也可以在这个方向上给你一些技巧。

• Are there any other tasks that I should be aware of when doing this? Other than task manager and replacing the shell.

• 在执行此操作时，我还应该注意其他任何任务吗？除了任务管理器和更换外壳。

In windows if you want to create a kiosk you will also need to disable :

在 Windows 中，如果你想创建一个信息亭，你还需要禁用：

1. The Windows + X keys :

1. Windows + X 键：

a. Type gpedit.msc from cmd prompt or start menu

b. Then go to : User Configuration>Administrative templates>Windows Components>File Explorer

c. In the right panel enable “Turn Off Windows + X hotkeys”

一种。从 cmd 提示符或开始菜单输入 gpedit.msc

湾 然后转到：用户配置>管理模板>Windows组件>文件资源管理器

C。在右侧面板中启用“关闭 Windows + X 热键”

1. Alt+X keys

2. Sticky keys : Disable Sticky Keys

3. Ctrl + Alt + Del :

2. Alt+X 键

3. 粘滞键： 禁用粘滞键

4. Ctrl + Alt + Del ：

a. Type gpedit.msc from cmd prompt or start menu

b. Select User

Configuration->Administrative Templates->System->Ctrl-Alt-Del Options

c. Double click on each : Remove Change Password, Remove Lock Computer, Remove Task Manager, and Remove Logoff and select Enabled then OK.

d. Select Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->System->Logon

e. In the right hand pane, double click on Hide entry points for Fast user Switching f. Select Enabled then OK

This will remove all the nasty items in the ctrl-alt-del screen that can give users access to things you want to protect.

一种。从 cmd 提示符或开始菜单输入 gpedit.msc

湾 选择用户

配置->管理模板->系统->Ctrl-Alt-Del选项

C。双击每个：删除更改密码、删除锁定计算机、删除任务管理器和删除注销，然后选择启用，然后确定。

d. 选择计算机配置->管理模板->系统->登录

e. 在右侧窗格中，双击隐藏快速用户切换 f 的入口点。选择启用然后确定

这将删除 ctrl-alt-del 屏幕中的所有讨厌的项目，这些项目可以让用户访问您想要保护的东西。

I didn't have to run IE so I cannot give you any details about that.

我不必运行 IE，因此我无法向您提供有关此的任何详细信息。
