What are the applications you want to launch? This sort of thing is pretty straightforward usually. We ran a number of games and a video through a browser running in kiosk mode (set to launch in kiosk mode on boot up) and had no problems. The activities used Flash and javascript (one made use of a local web server) and the video was  a Quicktime movie.

Subject: Program Launcher for Windows Touchscreen

I'm looking for suggestions and comments on Program Launchers for use on a
Windows based touchscreen system.

We are looking for a program that can be setup to auto load and then allows
the user to select (touch the screen) to launch one of two programs.  The
idea is that there will be no way to get to the desktop, open/close other
programs, etc.  Ideally, there would be two "button" with labels on each,
the user presses one or the other and it launches that program.

Any suggestions, comments pro or con on programs used, would be appreciated.
