SYMPTOMS
When you press CTRL+N while you are operating Internet Explorer in kiosk mode, a new instance of Internet Explorer starts, but it is not in kiosk mode.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior and prevent users from opening new instances of Internet Explorer while in kiosk mode, you can implement a policy to restrict the CTRL+N key combination.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
