Is there a way to hide the OK button without using Kixforms?
Any undocumented settings to hide the buttons?

Thanks.

You can create a custom HTML page and display it in IE.

Why do you want to hide the button?

I want people to read it. If the OK button is there, they will just hit Ok and not even read the message.

This sounds like the EULA from Microsoft, where you have to go through the whole thing before you can press a key to continue.

Why do you think that they will read it if you don't have an "OK" button. They will just wait for it to close, won't they?

At least by requiring them to click a button you are getting positive response. You may even have a "yes/no", make "no" the default and logoff on a "no".

Alternatively, if they close the window too quickly, pop up another warning that advises them that they must read the content of the message window

LOL
Have you ever heard the phrase "you can lead a horse to water..."? What makes you think you can MAKE them read it?

Make them physically or electronically acknowledge that they have received the policy and read/understood it. Keep this on file in case you'll need to point the policies out. This way they cannot claim in any way that even though it was displayed, they did not read/understand it.
