Also known as compatibility mode in Internet Explorer 8, our feature allows you to configure pages to run content in IE 8 or IE 7. 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.
·         Internet Explorer 7: Renders pages just like IE 7.
·         Internet Explorer 8: Renders pages like IE 7 unless the page claims to support IE 8.
·         Internet Explorer 8 - Forced: Renders pages in IE 8 (strict compliance) mode.

6.5.0 Aug-2009 Protocol Access List

This feature allows you to enable or disable specified protocols. For example, many kiosk applications require only the http:// and https:// protocol. You can now enable only these, blocking all other protocols and potential entry points to applications that do not use the http:// and http:// protocols. An example of protocol that is not necessary to the kiosk application and that you may want to block would be MMS://, Windows Media Player.
