I need a way to disable the ability for users to access the internet. I
have removed IE from the desktop, but the users can access the internet by
opening the file manager and putting a web address in the navigation bar.
Our IS pushes a proxy server address (actually a filter and not a true
proxy server) out to all users who log on using Active Directory. This is
for about 20 machines in a domain of 1000+

TIA!!!!

What do I restrict them from running? IE, Explorer, HTML-
-what?!!!


Thanks,
John

Hi John

I know you want a quick fix here, but if you administer an XP network, you
really need to have a basic understanding of the issues and relationships
when using restriction policies.

The following article is a bit long, but it will answer all of your
questions and give you the needed understanding to use this very powerful
tool.
