We have a few old PCs knocking around and as the thread title states, we would simply like to convert them so that they can't be used for anything other than logging into a browser to use as a CITRIX portal.

If any changes are made, all of it will disappear after the PC has been switched off or restarted and revert back to how it was.

Thanks and hope you can help.

Does the old PC's have Win 7 Pro or ultimate?
If they do, you can use GPedit to log on directly to the Browser with all other functions disabled.
