webpage

We have a number of retail stores that sell laptops. There are a number of display models on show in each retail store. At the moment screen savers are used to promote different offers and these screen savers are out of date.

What I would like to do is open up a browser on these machines and just use a webpage. This way I can control exactly what is displayed and keep it up to date with our latest offers.

Is it possible to have the webpage in full screen mode, with no address bar or tabs visible.

As far as I'm aware these are Windows machines, probably running Windows Vista or Windows 7.

Any help appreciated.
