Restart IE on exit

I'm looking for a solution that will automatically restart IE if a user
exits or prevent the user from closing the app. I have some internet only
stations and hate it when just the desktop is showing. The kiosk option is
not a real solution for us. I found something from Microsoft call 'Runapp',
but that was from the NT Resource Kit and didn't appear to work on XP.

Thanks,

Hi Nick,
The trick is to create the following key in the Registry.

HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Restrictions\NoBrowserClose

Give it a DWORD value of 1 to disable IE close or 0 to enable.

This will display the message 'This operation has been cancelled due to
restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system
administrator' when the user tries to close IE.

You will find other restrictions you can apply in the Group Policy Editor

Start>Run>GPEdit.msc

Regards
