      ewww good luck. We have a handful of iPads here for individualized testing and it is no fun to try to secure them when it is such a small deployment

      We've actually had pretty good success with an app called Kiosk Pro and then using Guided Access.

        I'm no help to your discussion, but we're going to be doing something similar soon with iPads.

        Apple configurator profile should do this pretty easily.

              I have an older Mac at home I use for the kids so they can learn multi OSes) and also teaching myself anything Mac related.

              But ML has taught me, business need, business purchase!

                I ended up using WinAero Skip Metro Suite to disable most of the side swipes.
                http://winaero.com/comment.php?comment.news.103

                I am still having an issue disabling Touchscreen Pinch To Zoom in IE. Anyone have any ideas? All of my previous solutions for Win7 dont work (darn windows 10!!!)
                I am thinking about making a code change since this is an internal page (ms-touch-action is deprecated for touch-action, I reviewed the documentation and it seems to be functionally similar)

                • {
                  -ms-touch-action: none;
                  -ms-content-zooming: none;
                  }

                What i've tried:

                • HKCU & HKLM>Software>Microsoft>Internet Explorer>Zoom>ZoomDisabled =1
                • User/Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Windows Components>Internet Explorer>Turn off page zooming functionality>Enabled

                All of the solutions I have found online are in reference to a touchpad. Currently, I am going through the registry attempting to identify the key that holds the touchscreen driver information, JIC that has something useful in it.

                Any ideas?

                      darn. Its just so easy for a patient to accidentally zoom in on a big touchscreen. DARN YOU MICROSOFT!!! Why do you remove these features and sabotage me?!?!?!

                        Yeah, I have the same thing when using their browser WITHOUT the touch interface. It still does that all of the time!

                            Disabling pinch zoom in the Internet Explorer WebBrowser Control:

                            1. Launch the Windows registry editor
                            2. Navigate to “HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerZoom” (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE works also).
                            3. Create a DWORD value named “ZoomDisabled” and set it’s value to 1.
                            4. Restart your kiosk application

                                @scottalanmiller unfortunately even running IE in Kiosk mode does not stop the ability to pinch zoom. Keyboard and mouse zoom were already disabled

                                  You might have to disable gestures entirely (as in multi touch)... still checking some stuff

                                  EDIT: Not looking good. You could disable the double tap gesture but that might make administering the kiosk a pain (if using the touchscreen).
                                  A lot of people reckon the registry option is a go, but this article says:

                                  According to my testing this only seems to disable pinch-zoom for my kiosk application (which uses the Internet Explorer WebBrowser Control) but does not disable pinch-zoom in the native Internet Explorer web browser

                                  Apparently, Chrome can do it (disable pinch zoom)... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22999829/disable-chrome-pinch-zoom-for-use-in-kiosk

                                    awesome thanks! I was planning on researching Chrome as an option tomorrow!

                                      No worries 😉
                                      Hope you get it working.
