Is it possible to limit IE file downloading from a 2K pro sp4 box with GPO? I am currently limiting IE file downloads from my XP boxes using GPO's but can't find anything for 2K pro SP4.
 
try this node of GPO:
USER
Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Browser menus
Disable Save this program to disk option
at least Internet Explorer v5.0

Prevents users from saving a program or file that Microsoft Internet Explorer has downloaded to the hard disk. If you enable this policy, users cannot save a program to disk by clicking the Save This Program to Disk command while attempting to download a file. The file will not be downloaded and users will be informed that the command is not available. If you disable this policy or do not configure it, users can download programs from their browsers.
