If you turn on the corresponding option, this tool will automatically send the last configuration as well as the last logfile and other information to PROVISIO's support server.
• Set SiteKiosk as default browser
  
  As of version 6.0, SiteKiosk will allow you to specify the SiteKiosk browser as the default application for displaying websites. The main benefit of this is that whenever other applications (e.g. Messenger) open an HTML link, this link will open directly in SiteKiosk rather than (as it used to be) in Internet Explorer (which was then suppressed by SiteKiosk). Provided you are using at least Wind2K SP3 or WinXP SP1, you will find the corresponding settings under "Start/Control Panel/Software/Set Program Access and Defaults."

You can, for instance, define a download folder whose content will be deleted after a certain number of hours.

  You will now also find a START button in SiteKiosk similar to the well-known START button of your Windows operating system. A click on this button will reveal only those applications that you specified in the configuration tool.

• SiteCash: SiteCafe Manager
  
  The solution everybody has anxiously been waiting for is now finally here: SiteCafe Manager!

  • QI-8321-T33 Magstripe (RS232) and ID TECH Spectrum Magstripe (RS232)
• Lock workstation when removable storage drives are attached
  
  Users might use USB memory sticks or any other removable memory media to open up a security gap in SiteKiosk. This is why we integrated an option that will automatically lock up the workstation as soon as a user connects a removable storage drive to the USB port of your computer.

• SiteCoach Content Filter
  
  
  • We expanded the content filter list of SiteCoach once again by several thousand new URLs. Since the filtering list has in the meantime grown to several megabytes, we have ceased to include it in the installation version. However, the list will still automatically be downloaded from our server as soon as SiteCoach is activated.
  • SiteCoach now also supports proxy servers requiring authentication prior to accessing the Internet
  • the content filter can now also be disabled for a certain period of time, e.g. during the time when minors are no longer admitted into your facility
  • SiteCoach can now limit access to domains explicitly classified as allowed
  • the filtering lists now fall into different categories and can be specified manually. This will make it possible for you to, for example, explicitly deny your users access to certain E-Mail gateways or chat providers

• Screensaver: Detection of game controller (joystick) input
  
  Prior to version 5.5, SiteKiosk was unable to detect the use of game controllers in combination with, for example, DirectX games. As a result, the screensaver always came on after a certain period of time. This is why we implemented a new feature which will now check for any game controller input.

• Additional configuration options in the .skcfg
  
  You can now also redefine the allowed maximum number of new windows within the configuration file: 10
  In addition, you can extend or limit the protocols allowed in SiteKiosk within the .skcfg file. This means, for example that you will now be able to allow access to the TELNET protocoll by entering .
