The initial setting of NavRoad is to show all menu options,

HTML_OPEN=1			-- Enable [File Open]
XP_PLAIN=1			 -- Enable [Export file as plain text]

Kiosk Mode is available to users who register a multi-users license (site / royalty-free) of NavRoad.

• Goto [Options], switch off ToolBar, Directory Buttons, Menu Bar, Location, and Status Bar.

Config NavRoad's Directory Buttons

Save NavRoad.ini in another directory

[APPINFO]
INIPATH=c:\yourdir\ You can also use the following 2 system variables for INIPATH:
%exedir% - the directory of the program files
%exedriver% - the driver ID from which the program is running

e.g.
Your .exe file is in e:\browser

INIPATH=%exedir%net\
is same as
INIPATH=e:\browser\net\



NavRoad.INI - Contains users' preferences about using NavRoad.
NRACCESS.INI - Contains access options and registration info.

[StartUp]
bookmark=nameofyourbookmarkfile

1. You must include the following files:
   • 16bit: NAVROAD.EXE & ILDA16.DLL
   • 32bit:NROAD32.EXE & ILDA32.DLL
   • NRACCESS.INI - contains your registration key and access control info.
   • NAVROAD.INI - contains your NAVROAD preferences (e.g. helper applications info, background color, homepage location, etc).
2. Useful dynamic variables for defining homepage location, path list, and search headers:
   %exedir% - the directory of the program files
   %exedriver% - the driver ID from which the program is running from.
   These 2 variables are very useful if you need to refer programs, html files, images on your CDROM/Floppy, but don't know the driver ID where the user will run the program from. e.g. if your user install your program under E:\DEMO\LIKSE
   %exedir%content.htm -> E:\DEMO\LIKSE\content.htm
   %exedriver%IMAGE\banner.GIF -> E:\IMAGE\banner.gif
   
3. There is no difference between 16bit & 32bit version of NavRoad, except 32bit version supports long filenames. If not all your users are using Windows 95/NT, you should also distribute the 16bit version, for those Windows 3.1x users.
4. If you distribute files on CD-ROM, or a read-only floppy, you should stop user from saving their preferences to the same disk. You can do this by:
   • Save NavRoad.INI in another directory, as explained above.
   • Hide the [Options] menu from you user - see above
5. Register user of roylaty-free license will receive a switch to replace the 'NavRoad' title with their own title.
6. If you need a search engine for your HTML files, please visit our homepage to find out about LIKSE and NavSearch.
