We have an employee who spends all her time browsing the internet.
In stead of firing her, we'd like to block her IE icon. How can we do this?

PS: we have one xp machine and one win98se machine that she has access to.

But can't I control her access without halting it totally?

You can do it with a Software Restriction Policy on IE but unless you
filter the Group Policy Object the policy will apply to all users on the
machines and none will be able to use IE. GPO filtering is or can be a
pretty complicated business.

Another way that you can do it is be denying her (explicitly) permission
on IEXPLORE.EXE with NTFS Security Permission. That will work for the
XP machines but it won't for the W98 machine. So... maybe GPO filtering
is the only thing to do. The Windows 98 box throws a wrench in the
gears, these machines are difficult to properly lock down and I don't
have a Windows 98 installation to test lockdown options for single users.

Thanks. Yeah, she has a Win98se machine so it won't work. Maybe I'll just
remove the icons.
 
You are searching for a technical solution for a non technical issue.
The real problem is the employee, assuming you have informed her of the
rules with appropriate consequences.

You have a some choices and a few are:
1. Let her continue being the boss, controlling the situation and surf as
she desires.
2. Set some business policies and enforce them.
If #2 is not an option, she is the boss so #1 applies.
 
It also sounds as if the employee doesn't have enough work to do.

I agree with at least one other response to this issue...
This is a non-technical problem - don't try to use technology to solve it.

This employee is bored (not enough to do, not challenged, etc) or just
doesn't need to be there.

Threaten disciplinary action and if they actually need to be there, they
will find something more productive to do with their time so they do not
lose their job... If they don't need to be there - they won't and they are
gone.
 
X-No-Archive: yes

The employee is underforming generally.
She has enough to do.
We plan to fire her in Feb./March when business slows.
Thanks for the clear thinking to all.
