Micke,

Here's how we did it at our library:

How to Lock-In Web Addresses on Internet Explorer

The following method allows you to lock in Internet Explorer 5 to a defined group of web addresses. By changing the proxy settings in Internet Explorer, your users will only be able to access those sites that you allow.

STEP 1
From the menu bar, select Tools and Internet Options. Click on the tab labeled Connections.

STEP 2
At the bottom of the Connections panel is a box labeled LAN Settings. Click on this box.

STEP 3
In the box labeled Local Area Network (LAN) Settings, go to the section labeled Proxy Server and check the box labeled Use a Proxy Server. This will "ungrey" the rest of the settings.

STEP 4
Click on the button labeled Advanced to open the panel labeled Proxy Settings.

STEP 5
In the section labeled Servers, under Proxy Address to use, enter a word or phase like Online Catalogs into the box next to HTTP: This provides a "dummy" address that will prevent the browser from going out to the Internet.

STEP 6
At the bottom of the section labeled Servers, check the box labeled Use the same proxy server for all protocols. This will automatically complete the other boxes with what you entered in Step 5. This setting will prevent users from accessing FTP and Gopher sites through the web broswer.

STEP 7
In the section labeled Exceptions, enter the domains of the addresses that you DO want patrons to access. For example, I would enter "

http://www.ecls.lib.pa.us"

to allow access to our web catalog. Follow the instructions and make sure to use semi-colons between entries if you need to enter more than one domain.

STEP 8
Click on the OK boxes until you return to Internet Explorer. Now test your settings by browsing to your site that you entered in the exceptions. Now, try surfing to a site that is not allowed - the browser should not be able to "find" the site.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I allow access to a single domain [i.e. all ".gov" sites]?
A: Enter in the domain name [gov, edu, etc.] into the exceptions box with a wildcard [*] and a dot [.]before the domain name For example, *.gov This will allow access to all sites ending in ".gov" but no other domains. You can be as general or specific as you want.

Thanks a lot!
But just one thing
Is there an option to insert "good" URLs from the program, automaticly?

Automatically, no.

Where does Windows store this values? Not in registry?
