WinCC Avoid windows toolbar by Operator

First you need to do settings as described in the following FAQ:

How do you lock typical Windows key combinations in WinCC V6?

Then follow these steps:

1. Auto-hide Windows task bar.

2. Setup WinCC Autostart.

(see attachment for the above steps)

3. Create 2 users in WinCC (User Administration):
- Operator - without System Change rights
- Administrator - with System Change rights

Now,when you reboot your OS client, it will start the WinCC runtime and you log in as operator.
The operator cannot access Windows and he does not have option to deactivate runtime. When you want to access Windows, you log in as administrator, deactivate WinCC runtime and you have access to Windows.

Hi Phantom!!

Yes, it works in this way or better:
WinCC HMI was built whitout standard configuration (it means Project tree editor and the others features avaible under Basic Pc installation) without @screen.pdl and so on....but it has been built by hand. So in this case, as suggested by you, I need to copy/paste button+window page in the old HMI project to Deactivate Runtime.
You spoke about System rights or not : where I can find this option under User Administrator tool?
I'm not able toavoid rights to access to Deactivate Runtime Button.

BUT using this solution I can use Engeneering Step7 or WinCC and not both. Or better, during engineering development I cananable options and only when I will leave the Plant I will implement this solutions.
My idea was to have a Operator without access to Windows toolbar and an Administrator who has access to Windows Toolbar during Runtime.

thanks Phantom!!!

Hi Phantom,

I saw System change only under WinCC6.2 but it doesn't seem to be in 6.0 Version...

thanks
