Re: How to restrict use of I.E.

That looks handy.

I found this tip which also seems to work:

In Tools/Internet Options/Connection/Lan Settings, set the proxy server to
be 127.0.0.1 port 80
Add to the exceptions list the approved URLs of the approved sites. Sites
are separated by a semicolon.

Of course, you need to block access to this area using Group Policy.

This seems to work just fine, although I like the solution you found better.
I searched for over an hour this morning, and your MS document never came
up.

Now, I need to disable the File, Edit, View, etc. menu...


Thanks for your help.
