Hello Russ,
I'm also trying to lock down our library computers with XP Pro. I would be
interested in learning which registry keys you used to achieve this. I'm
still trying to find a way to keep users from gaining access to Internet
Options through the Privacy icon which then gives them access to the Settings
under Internet Options. I have blocked the Internet Options through a
registry key under Tools and all the Tabs but for some reason the Privacy
Report Icon still gives them access to all of the above.
Thanks for your help and I'd be glad to share my registry restrictions with
you.
