Hello,

How could I disable IE6 on a workstation running Win2k Pro without having to
uninstall IE6? In other words, we do not want users to have access to the
internet on these PC's.

Thanks,
Greg
 
Disabling IE will not prevent users from browsing the internet. They could
still use Windows Explorer or even URL links in a Word Doc to access the
internet. You will need to do it at the physical level. One way is to
configure IE to use a bogus proxy server IP which can be configured via
Group Policy. That will work only for Internet Explorer access however.
Other options may include configuring computer with no default gateway,
using a software firewall, ipsec filtering policy, or configuring the
perimiter firewall to block access to "computers" based on their IP address
which will only work well if they use static IP addresses or are in a range
of computers that are all blocked from internet access. --- Steve

Dou you mean "Internet" (including mail, etc) or www?

In both cases you can use the firewall.
If they are allowed to used mail block port 80 and 443 for that
Workstations.
Otherwise block all in/out for that workstations.
