1 Getting started HP Easy Shell allows you to configure connections, websites, and applications for kiosk-style deployments of HP thin clients based on Windows® operating systems. You can also customize the kiosk interface that is presented to standard users and enable or disable user access to specific Control Panel settings. The configured environment can be deployed to multiple thin clients using HP Device Manager (HPDM). NOTE: Enabling user access to Control Panel settings might also give the user access to File Explorer. Many thin client deployments need to provide either a single- or limited-purpose environment to users, such as an environment for web browsing or remote desktop access. HP Easy Shell simplifies this type of thin client deployment by hiding the standard Windows interface, restricting users to certain applications and functions, and locking down the system against user modification. NOTE: This guide applies to HP Easy Shell 3.5 or newer (see Obtaining and opening HP Easy Shell on page 2 for information about obtaining the latest version).
