hi

i'm doing a project where i need to disable the Back and Forward buttons of IE. i'm wondering if there is a way to disable directly the buttons or disable the action associated with those buttons.

thanks for your help [sig][/sig]
 
I don't know about disabling them but you can simply remove them by right clicking on said navagation bar and choosing customize.

Not exactly what you asked but might help :)

Even if you do figure out how to hide the buttons, you can still use alt-left or alt-right for back and forward...????

good luck

I was able to do this once at work, but have since not been able to make it work. It's a combination of settings using

NoInstrumentation=dword:00000001
SpecifyDefaultButtons=dword:00000001
NoNavButtons=dword:00000001
NoToolbarCustomize=dword:00000001
Btn_Back=dword:00000001
Btn_Forward=dword:00000001
Btn_Stop=dword:00000001
Btn_Refresh=dword:00000001
Btn_Home=dword:00000001
Btn_Search=dword:00000001
Btn_History=dword:00000001
Btn_Favorites=dword:00000001
Btn_Folders=dword:00000001
Btn_Fullscreen&quot;=dword:00000001
Btn_Tools=dword:00000001
Btn_MailNews=dword:00000001
Btn_Size=dword:00000001
Btn_Print=dword:00000001
Btn_Edit=dword:00000001
Btn_Discussions=dword:00000001
Btn_Cut=dword:00000001
Btn_Copy=dword:00000001
Btn_Paste=dword:00000001
Btn_Encoding=dword:00000001


under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
