Hello,

The SiteKiosk shell replacement (e.g. active in the so-called “Autostart“ mode of SiteKiosk) causes applications stored in the Startup directory (Start-->All Programs-->Startup) to be overlooked when the user logs on to the system.

The recommended way would be to start XAMPP as a Windows service.
This ensures that the application is started before SiteKiosk and independently of the logged on Windows user.

Otherwise you can find more methods here:

Thank for your tip...
I solved the issue but I have a problem with the content of the page: if I open with Chrome outside SK I see everything OK but when I open inside SK some elements are not correctly loaded.
Do you think that there could be some problem with user permission?
Thank again
Edoardo
