Group Policy with Internet Explorer

Using Group Policy, the only thing I can see is to disable any changes to
the IE toolbars, which would include the Address Bar. So you would have to
disable the Address Bar and then apply the policy -
User Config...Admin Templates...Windows Components...Internet
Explorer...Toolbars...Disable customizing browser toolbars.

"Prevents users from determining which toolbars are displayed in Microsoft
Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer. If you enable this policy, the list
of toolbars, which users can display by clicking the View menu and then
pointing to the Toolbars command, will appear dimmed."

A better idea might be the NoAddressBar registry restriction mentioned here:

I wrote a Visual Basic Script to edit the registry to remove the address bar.
My question is can I do this on a user by user basis. At our branch offices
the manager sometime uses the Customer Service Representative's computers.
Is their a way to do this or am I beeter off trying to teach the manager not
to use the CSR computers.

Is it possibly to write a script that will only apply on a per user basis. I
have several users who log onto the computer. I use a vbs script to lock
down IE explorer in conjunction to GPO's. The vbs removes the address bar
and media button so I don't have to do it on a per user basis for everyone
that logs onto the computer. I found out that one user logs ontop multiple
computers and need the address bar on IE to show for her. Is their a way to
write a script that does something on a per user basis. What I was thinking
is that if this user logs on remove the registry entry to hide the address
bar. Is this possible at all.
