Disabling Internet Options in Internet Explorer

[deano050778]

Is there any registry setting I can change to stop users accessing the "Internet Options" in Internet Explorer? I need to stop users changing the proxy server which I have set....

start-run-gpedit.msc

browse to user configuration, administrative templates, windows components, internet explorer, internet control panel. set the "disable the connections page" to "enabled.

Use a text editor to view the .vbs, all it does is set registry entries per tab for internet options.

In addition, you can set Group Policy to deny someone running inetcpl.cpl, which is the options tool.

This also can do the disabling:

Does this mean that I can use this to restrict Internet Access to prevent access to a speified web address ?

No, but you can assign a false proxy address to the web site. This will give you the extreme example:

In addition, you can do this several other ways:

. by making a HOSTS file entry pointing to 127.0.0.1 for the website;

. with parental controls;

. by using Internet Options and making it a restricted website.
