I need to lockdown windows 8 for a kiosk using chrome. I have tried some of the paid solutions out there but none of them support chrome. Has anyone accomplished this without purchasing a product?

Setup:

  • Windows 8
  • Touch screen
  • Google Chrome with --kiosk flag

    @bacord - There is no paid or free solution at this time. It will be added by the end of the year with the `Windows 8.1` update. – Ramhound Jun 05 '13 at 22:20

Wait for Windows 8.1 which will be released as a free Update later this year. This will allow to provide a kiosk mode for the new store apps (use the "metro" version of Chrome):

  • I wish this was an option, but I need a solution this week. I will likely upgrade to this option once 8.1 is released. Thanks for the input. – bacord Jun 06 '13 at 12:44
  • If you use Windows 8 Enterprise you can use **AppLocker** to allow only chrome to be executed. Now put a shortcut of chrome.exe into the startup folder. – magicandre1981 Jun 06 '13 at 18:49
