Additonal text to be added to the User Agent text.
Also called compatibility mode in Internet Explorer 8. IE 8 added the ability to render pages with strict standards compliance. This makes some web pages display improperly, so they also provided the ability to toggle modes.
Popups are web pages that display in a new window. KioWare can be configured to either allow or deny popups.
Refer to the following screenshot.

The message to display to the user when the maximum number of popups have been reached.
If checked, the message defined in Max. Popup Depth Message will be displayed when more than three generations (manually configurable - refer to FAQ's on http://www.kioware.com) of popups have been spawned (ie, a popup creating a popup, creating a popup, etc) at any given time.

KioWare can intercept web server errors and redirect to a defined error handling URL. In addition, KioWare can pass into the error handling script the URL of the script causing the error and the server error code. This information is passed using a querystring of the form:
With the information contained in the querystring, an error handling routine can be created that elegantly recovers from the error, provides a consistent user interface to the user, and perhaps logs the error for follow-up.
Refer to the following screenshot.
An example error handling page. After clicking the link, right click to save the page.
If checked, upon a web server error KioWare will redirect to the URL stored in Redirection URL.
If checked, a querystring will be passed to the Redirection URL with the filename of the script that caused the error and the server error code.
If checked, the redirection URL can specify a frame within a frameset. Used only when the application uses frames.
The URL KioWare will redirect to when a server error is encountered.
If checked, KioWare will not display the IE error dialog box whenever a javascript error has been processed.
If checked, KioWare will log the contents of the script error into the Windows Application Event Log.
A critical feature of KioWare is the ability to lockdown the browser; however, this can be a challenge because some external apps that can be embedded into web applications can cause security problems.
For example, HTML Mailto tags will cause the default email tool (typically Outlook Express) to load, and a user has the option to save the email to the hard drive – not typically a desirable action.
Another example are ActiveX controls. Many controls, such as Macromedia's Flash player, support a right mouse click to popup a context menu that typically has file save or print capability that can enable a user to save a file to the hard drive – again, not typically a desirable action.
KioWare has the ability to lockout these security problems.
Refer to the following screenshot.
If checked, HTML Mailto tags will be ignored
If checked will display the message defined in Mailto: Disabled Message when a user clicks an HTML Mailto: tag.
Message to display when a user clicks an HTML Mailto: tag when Mailto: Disabled is enabled.

If checked, Outlook Web Access left clicks will be ignored.
If checked, all right mouse clicks will be ignored, including KioWare specific context menu items.
If checked, Acrobat Reader right clicks will be ignored.
If checked, Flash right clicks will be ignored.
KioWare .NET Addins provide a way for programmers to write custom features and/or perform whatever action they want. They also provide a way for users to obtain custom written .NET addins to add functionality to KioWare that was not originally there.
Also see KioWare .NET Addins Programming
This dialog allows you to add, edit and remove .NET addin libraries (.dll files).
Clicking Add New will bring up another dialog.
The first textbox allows you to manually enter the full path to the .dll file that you want to use for the addin. Alternatively, clicking the button to the right will allow you to pick the file.
Once the file has been chosen, the second textbox will be populated with every public class found in the addin so that you can pick the proper one according to what the custom addin documentation says.
Once the proper class is chosen you may be able to press the Configure button to configure settings for the addin. This dialog is written by the addin writer so it will look different depending upon the addin and may not even be there.
