• Set SiteKiosk as default browser
  
  As of version 6.0, SiteKiosk will allow you to specify the SiteKiosk browser as the default application for displaying websites. The main benefit of this is that whenever other applications (e.g. Messenger) open an HTML link, this link will open directly in SiteKiosk rather than (as it used to be) in Internet Explorer (which was then suppressed by SiteKiosk).

• SiteCoach Content Filter
  
  
  • We expanded the content filter list of SiteCoach once again by several thousand new URLs. Since the filtering list has, in the meantime, grown to several megabytes, we have stopped including it in the installation version. However, the list will still automatically be downloaded from our server as soon as SiteCoach is activated.
  • SiteCoach now also supports proxy servers requiring authentication prior to accessing the Internet
  • the content filter can now also be disabled for a certain period of time, e.g. during the time when minors are no longer admitted to your facility

• Screensaver: detection of game controller (joystick) input
  
  Prior to version 5.5, SiteKiosk was unable to detect the use of game controllers in combination with, for example, DirectX games.
