Hi,
Sorry for reposting the message, but I couldn't get the solution form the
previous one.
I want to open an internet cafe, and I want to restrict users from
downloading, the reason I want to restrict people from downloading is I
don't want them to download some virus into the computer, if they do, this
not only affect us but our customers as well. Also, this can also reduce the
traffic, customers will have a smoother/faster surf on the internet. As
well, this will reduce the amount of download each month, so that we can
join a lower plan ^^"
I look through the group policy but it doesn't have this function. So does
anyone know how I can do that? Thx.

You should deploy the following registry information:

Path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Internet
Settings\Zones\3
Value Name: 1803
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 3

You can deploy the registry information by a .reg file or by editing the
..adm file of the group policy and adding this feature.
If you are no expirienced with editing ADM file, You shoul go with the .reg
file deployment. it is the fastest and most easy way.

You should also disable the registry editor and the 'security' tab of the
windows explorer so that the users won't be able to change it right back.
 
Be aware that viruses can still come through.
Files are still being stored on the local PC.
Just visiting a specific web page can start an unwanted
script.
Make sure you still use a good virus scanner, and update
it regularly.
