Using Microsoft Edge Kiosk mode for a website with all the files on the local computer. Where do I put the files?

Question

I have an exhibit that is viewed through a browser. All the files will be on the local computer so I don't need internet access to view them. I have set up a Kiosk mode but when I reboot to go into kiosk mode the files are not found. Is there a specific place the files shoudl be tio run them locally in kiosk mode?

Answer 1

Attached are three screen shots. One of the folder that is located on the desktop with the exhibit files showing. One of the Kiosk set up page. The last one shows that the exhibit does work with Microsoft Edge when I view it in the browser.

Hi @Kathleen Patterson ,
When you switch the kiosk mode account to login, it seems that the local files are not in there.
You could first try the command line below to open your website in kiosk mode, and check if the files can be loaded normally.
msedge.exe --kiosk file:///C:/Users/.... --edge-kiosk-type=fullscreen

If the website is shown properly, it means that there is no problem with the local file.
So please move your local folder to your kiosk mode account, to see if it works fine.
