I have a 'Kiosk' system - i.e. a single computer, not networked, running Vista and with IIS and PHP servers installed.
On boot this system is set to automatically log a user in and then launch Internet Explore. The default IE website is a localhost page. This starts the interactive display system in our museum when it is powered on.
It all works well - except (why is there always an except?)
Sometimes IE fails to lauch the website - I suspect this is because either IIS or PHP servies have not started before IE is launched.
Can any one suggest a 'script' which can delay launching IE to give all the services starting at boot to settle.
Then I can autorun the script instead of directly launching IE.
Any help appreciated.
