I need to lockdown windows 8 for a kiosk using chrome. I have tried some of the paid solutions out there but none of them support chrome. Has anyone accomplished this without purchasing a product?

Wait for Windows 8.1 which will be released as a free Update later this year. This will allow to provide a kiosk mode for the new store apps (use the "metro" version of Chrome):

I wish this was an option, but I need a solution this week. I will likely upgrade to this option once 8.1 is released. Thanks for the input. – bacord – 2013-06-06T12:44:06.317
If you use Windows 8 Enterprise you can use AppLocker to allow only chrome to be executed. Now put a shortcut of chrome.exe into the startup folder. – magicandre1981 – 2013-06-06T18:49:00.320
1@bacord - There is no paid or free solution at this time. It will be added by the end of the year with the
Windows 8.1update. – Ramhound – 2013-06-05T22:20:55.040
