Hi, The kiosk will need to accept DRM compatible media players (needs drivers / playsforsure) //Bart

The kiosk needs to accept DRM compatible media players, and phones to transfer ringtones and music. Actually it would be very interesting how to disable devices like mouse/keyboard //Bart

Hi Bilou, Thanks for all your time. I have been reading a lot about this Messagebox Interception and I must conslude that it's only a functionality of Windows XP embedded. I tried your modified script but it still doesn't work. I think it can only work if some interception program is active during runtime. I found the program Winspector that displays which program is acticated and I see that rundll32.exe is started wich launches the messagebox(#32770) As we need to have this kiosk operational for a demo in a shop next wednesday and we can't afford to have this "new hardware device found" popup, I implemented a workaround for the moment. The workaround is a tool I found wich detects the Messagebox and closes this window. The programm is called ClickOff. This works for the moment, but if the DefaultReply really intercept the event and thus not activating the Messagebox and logs information to the Event log that would be much better. Below are some links I read last night; http://www.johanneshuebner.com/en/clickoff.html http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....owing/hooks.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/11/CuttingEdge/ http://www.nowtryus.net/article:Windows_XP_Embedded

Hi Bilou, So it works with your WinXP Sp2 configuration? Is this also working in runtime and not at install or first boot? In the Microsoft documentation i read about using HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control and not CurrentControlSet001\ and two more questions; - If it is working, are there no popups at all? , or do you see a quick windows that exits fast? - where do I specify the action? If I use setting as shown below it doesn't work. Could it be a registry rights issue? Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Error Message Instrument] "EnableDefaultReply"=dword:00000001 "EnableLogging"=dword:00000001 "LogSeverity"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Eventlog\Application\Error Instrument] "TypesSupported"=dword:00000007 "EventMessageFile"=hex(2):25,00,25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,\ 00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,25,00,25,00,5c,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,\ 33,00,32,00,5c,00,55,00,73,00,65,00,72,00,33,00,32,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,\ 00,20,00,00,00

I tried "Enabling Default Reply" but it did not work. I use Windows XP Profesional. Could it be that this setting only works with XP Embedded? Bart

Hi, For a project we need to avoid the "new hardware device found wizard" popup when people put in a USB device in a Windows XP kiosk. I tried following reg key, but it worked only one time, after that the popups returned. Preventing Plug and Play http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....ingplugplay.asp So i am now considering following option. Enabling Default Reply http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....efaultreply.asp I could not find where the logfile is kept using this option. Any ideas?
