full screen browser

I would like to be able to download my flash content into a browser that has
no menu bars or scroll bars and the flash content would scale to fill
whatever resolution it finds. Is something like this possible with
dreamweaver and internet explorer?

Is it also possible to disable alt-f4 and alt-tab and other such key
combinations.
I want to use this in a workshop environment where the users can access the
content but do not have to install an exe of my work.

Is an alternative to download a flash exe to each client machine, or would
there be secuity issues? Would that then give me the keyboard lockouts I
require.

Thanks for any replies

Internet Explorer has a "kiosk mode", but that has to be launched from the
client machine via an autorun CD or other some such command. And to be
honest, I'm not sure it disables task switching.
You certainly can't disable the user's computer from a standard web site.
If this is an on-line workshop, then don't even try; you're wasting your
time. If you're setting up a bank of computers to run this workshop and
just don't want the attendees "surfing" instead of following the
presentation, there are other ways to lock down the computer. But don't
depend on the browser. A Google search on "Internet Explorer Kiosk Mode"
will be able to give you the details I don't have about what, exactly, it
allows and doesn't allow. But I think it's designed for those demo kiosks
you see at trade shows and such, so I'd suspect it's pretty close to what
you're looking for.

What you want is not possible in a web browser. You're going to need to
write an executable in a lower level language like C/C++, Delphi, or
possibly VB.

Thanks for the reply

Would it be possible then to run a flash executable from the server?

So I would put all the machines to a certain web page and then have a button
to launch the main flash program which can then run full screen etc.

Would this work, and how would that be implemented?

Thanks again

The flash executable would have to be downloaded and executed to be able to
launch the browser in kiosk mode, and to be honest, I don't think Flash is
set up to do that. (IE has to be launched with the -k command line switch,
and your normal file associations won't do that. I don't know what a Flash
exe can do.)

What I know about Flash could fit on my thumbnail, unfortunately.

why don't you open a full-screen popup window with your flash in it
published in percents size, so that it fills the window?...

That would require no exe nor nothing special, just some javascript to
open the popup at max screen size, i.e:

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
self.moveTo(0,0)
self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight )
//--></script>

That doesn't provide the task-switching immunity he's seeking.
