Hi pip,
You can modify and restrict settings by means of policies (watch out,
that you do not include the administrator account), going to Start >
Run > gpedit.msc
and going to administrative templates, here you can limit what other
users do in relation to IE use, start menu, taskbar, etc.
Good look
