you should be able to set up the computer to automatically open internet explorer for all users.<br />
a couple of ways you can do this.<br />
In c:\documents and settings\all users\Start Menu\ put a shortcut to internet explorer or create a batch file that opens up internet explorer. &nbsp;if you want it in kiosk mode, add a -k to the command line.<br />
<br />
The other way is through registry.<br />
<br />
go to HKLM\software\microsoft\wi<wbr />ndows\curr<wbr />ent version\run\ create a new key that points to Internet Explorer.<br />

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
