just doing a simple bump to see if anyone can help me disable pinch zoom in IE on a touch screen
That's one that I've never done, I'm afraid!

Yeah, I have the same thing when using their browser WITHOUT the touch interface. It still does that all of the time!

Disabling pinch zoom in the Internet Explorer WebBrowser Control:
- Launch the Windows registry editor
- Navigate to “HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerZoom” (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE works also).
- Create a DWORD value named “ZoomDisabled” and set it’s value to 1.
- Restart your kiosk application

@scottalanmiller ive tried that and it didnt work. Hrmm - I see something that may have been missed. Im not sure we are opening IE in Kiosk mode. Ill check

@scottalanmiller unfortunately even running IE in Kiosk mode does not stop the ability to pinch zoom. Keyboard and mouse zoom were already disabled

You might have to disable gestures entirely (as in multi touch)... still checking some stuff
EDIT: Not looking good. You could disable the double tap gesture but that might make administering the kiosk a pain (if using the touchscreen).
A lot of people reckon the registry option is a go, but this article says:According to my testing this only seems to disable pinch-zoom for my kiosk application (which uses the Internet Explorer WebBrowser Control) but does not disable pinch-zoom in the native Internet Explorer web browser
Apparently, Chrome can do it (disable pinch zoom)... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22999829/disable-chrome-pinch-zoom-for-use-in-kiosk
