Tweaking .INI (Including Restricting URL Access)

Administrators can make additional customizations to OEMBrowser by changing parameters in the Browser.INI file that accompanies the browser. Open the file in a text editor and make the following changes to switch customization functions on and off.

• [BAR]
  CustButton=0 / 1
  Switch customization functions on and off.
  
  
• [FormMain]
  Resize=0 / 1
  Enable and disable the resize window function.
  
  
• Close= 0 / 1
  Enable and disable the closing window function.
  
  
• allow.lst
  deny.lst
  To allow or deny access to certain Web sites, follow the commands with a list of URLs (wildcards are supported, such as *yahoo.com, which would include any URL ending in the domain yahoo.com).

Examples:

    Create deny.lst with the following 2 lines:
    *yahoo.com
    *cnet.com
    
    Put this file -- deny.lst in the same directory as oembrowser.exe. You will no more able to open any URLs with the domain name
    yahoo.com, and cnet.com
    

    If you rename this file to allow.lst, you will then only be able to visit websites with the the domain name
    yahoo.com, and cnet.com, and can't access any other websites
    

If an URL is blocked, an error message will be shown. Or you can display your own error message page. Simply create a file call "block.html", and place it in the same directory as oembrowser.exe
