Hi all,

I want to use a web page as a desktop on our dumb terminals. Would it be possible to set this page to check if there is a newer version on the intranet server everytime the terminal is started? The dumb terminal will be a Windows XP machine of which the explorer shell is replaced. Further will it be possible to lock the properties of the page so users cant modify it?

Thank You
 
I have not created the page yet. Only wanted to know if it was possible. The page should not be changed once rolled out to the terminal. I want the page to cache on the terminal so that should the connection be unavailable the page will still appear on the terminal. I want to use this page as a notice board if we expect any problems. The page should update seamlessly if it finds a newer version on a local intranet server.
