Re: Solution to the Problem

Hi,
As Tom wrote, it's not that difficult to circumvent the IE Content Advisor
if the user knows how to use a search engine and has access to the registry.
A very clear company policy regarding computer use would help. Can a user
have Admin privileges but not have access to REGEDIT?

Can you block other sites with your firewall?

I tested it and it worked.

It appears doable.

Hello,
It appeared that going to Tools\Internet
Options\content(TAB)\enable\approved sites and then listing a site as
approved would
disallow all others. Apparently this is not the case, that I must list
each
and every website that I want to refuse access to.
Is there a way to restrict access to ALL websites EXCEPT two or three,
and
without having to list every other website in the world as
"restricted"?

This is very important. I am a network admin and there are machines
using a
third-party, mission critical app that requires ADMIN logon priviliges
to
use.
And these workstations need to access about three website for business
purposes.

If this is not doable in IE 6, what about IE7? If not, then please just
say
so. I'm not looking for solutions outside of MS products.
