    Hello,

    I'm building a kiosk, for which I've made a small website, that runs on Opera in Kiosk Mode.

    Now the problem, whenever the power goes down, the browser starts but it doesn't starts with the page, it just asks me if I wnat to continue or start with the homepage,

    I've also tryed Chorme and FF but none work...

    Can anyone give an ideea ?

    Thank you.

    It works but the same problem, in case the power fails, when it boots, I am asked to select the page and press Start.

    What can I do in order to get rid of this and just start with the page that it is set as homepage..

    Tks.

    Windows?

    Set the page to the browser's home page.
    Make a .bat file to launch the browser in kiosk mode.
    Place a shortcut to the .bat file in the Progrmms/Startup folder.

    I've done this, I mean I made a shortcut in Startup folder, but when it closes like when you unplugged it and then start it again the browser starts but it asks me if I want to continue from last time, even thought it is set to start with the homepage. I'm using Firefox..

    Remove the "remember last session" option from whichever browser you're using.

    Using Opera (best Kiosk mode... at least when it has one in 12/earlier instead of the useless crippleware bullshit of 15+)

    Tools -> Preferences -> Startup, Change to "Home page" instead of "continue from last time".

    Then find operaprefs.ini (on windows typically it's under /user/appData/roaming/Opera or some such) and make sure the following are set in that file:
    [User Prefs]
Show Crash Log Upload Dialog=0
Recovery Strategy=3
Show Startup Dialog=0
Show Setupdialog On Start=0
    Code (markup):
    Should do the trick. Of course, if you're in the pathetic crippleware known as Opera 15 through 18, or as I call it "Chrome with the opera logo slapped on it any old way" then you're shit outta luck.
