Kiosk Mode, Utilizing Chromium Edge, With Multiple Tabs

Utilizing the method of Microsoft Edge "--kiosk" command parameter as seen here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-kiosk-mode and remapping the "Esc", "Ctrl" and "Alt" keys to do nothing, the expected function performed perfectly for the department requesting this specialty setup. Unfortunately for me, they have now requested use of a second site for the users of the Kiosk to access. Is there an easy way to make this happen as it is currently set up, or is it back to the drawing board?

Hi,

Microsoft Edge is currently not supported in the Q&A forums, the supported products are listed over here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/products (more to be added later on).

You can ask the experts in the dedicated Microsoft Edge forum over here:

(Please don't forget to accept helpful replies as answer)

Best regards,
Leon

It is a little unclear on the issue.

Are you not seeing tabs in Edge in Kiosk mode?
Can you simple call msedge twice for each web page? I think it will open each page in the same Edge session.

I had Edge open when I did the test so tabs appeared. Closed edge and open in Kiosk mode; now, I see what you are asking. There are no tabs.

How is the Edge being launched?
You might be able to create hot keys that launch different sites using keyboard filter or equivalent. CTRL+ALT+1 for site 1 , CTRL+ALT+2 for site 2, etc. This will provide the user to switch between sites.

There is an Edge shortcut that was created for that user profile (set up using AutoAdminLogon in the Registry) using the format "<local path>\msedge.exe" --kiosk http://bing.com as the shortcut's target and set to load up as soon as the profile is fully signed in.

The caveat is that the users of these kiosks are not employees, so usage has to be as simplistic as possible for them to switch between sites and not be able to access any other sites besides the two I want to give them access to.
