Restrictions on Find

[Gro]

Hi.<br><br>I have been approached by a client where all the users are not supposed to have Internet Explorer. Some of them have discovered that they can get out on the Internet by using the Find-button under Start.<br>We used System Policy Editor to disable the Find-button, but that also disabled Find in Windows NT Explorer, which mean that Find files and folders is disabled.<br>Does anybody know how to only disable the Internet connction under Find, and not the rest?<br><br>Kind regards<br>Gro G.

Gro,<br>This may sound a silly question but your client obviously does not want his/her users to access the internet. So instead of disabling the find option etc. Why is he/she giving them machines that are connected to the internet???.<br>Surely the easy way out is to give users machines without an active connection, then it would not matter if they had an internet explorer icon or not.<br><br>Cheers...Paul.

How are they connected to the internet? Do they have static ips? If they are connected through a routing device (cisco etc.) and have an ip that is static you can simply block them from the internet that way. Are they supposed to have email access as well. <br><br>What about changing the permissions on iexplore.exe so that they don't have access to it. <p>Troy Williams B.Eng.<br><a href=mailto:fenris@hotmail.com>fenris@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
