Hi!
I'm looking for the way to restrict Internet browsing only to a small list
of allowed sites, through the registry, without using things such as "content
advisor".

It is comparable to the RestrictRun for Windows processes...

Thanks in advance
BenJi





And how will you prevent users from booting from a CD that loads an OS to do their browsing? Nothing of the registry in your OS will get used. You cannot completely restrict browsing by editing the registry or the use of censorware on the host to which you permit access. If the user has physical access to the computer, they can bypass any security you have implemented on it. After all, all they have to do is visit the newsgroups to ask how to nullify whatever you implemented on the host you let them use. You need to use an upstream host or a firewall (which is inaccessible to your users) to restrict where your users can go.
