If you disable all Active-X controls in Tools, Internet Options, Security, Internet Zone, the toolbars cannot be installed or activated. The easiest way to do this is to set the Custom Level of Security on this Zone to High. You will then need to lock these changes from user edits:
1. One way is to prevent changes in the Security tab:
Open notepad and copy/paste the below as lock_ie_security.reg
********** start copy/paste below this line
REGEDIT4
[HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"Security HKLM only"=dword:00000001
"Security options edit"=dword:0000000
"Security zones map edit"=dword:0000000
************* end copy/paste above this line
2. An alternative is to prevent the user use of Internet Options completely:
Open notepad and copy/paste the below as lock_ie.reg
********** start copy/paste below this line
REGEDIT4
[HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoBrowserOptions"=dword:00000001
************* end copy/paste above this line
You can push the .reg file to users through the logon script. Add the line:
