According to their link http://help.opera.com/Windows/12.10/en/kiosk.html This should work right?

You can use nwjs. Near nwjs.exe create package.json with next options:

{
  "main": "<web app url>",
  "name": "kiosk example",
  "description": "kiosk example",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "window": {
    "toolbar": false,
    "frame": false,
    "resizable": false,
    "show": true,
    "kiosk": true,
    "title": "kiosk example"
  },
  "webkit": {
    "plugin": true
  },
  "chromium-args": "--force-gpu-rasterization"
}

Also, I recommend you to create kiosk user and set nwjs.exe as shell for this user. Windows 7 and early:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"Shell"="C:\\full\\path\\to\\nwjs.exe>"

Windows 8 and later:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"Shell"="C:\\full\\path\\to\\nwjs.exe>"
