How Can I restrict users from changing proxy on IE? 1

[Sina]

Hi everyone,

How can I remove the connection tab on the properties of the IE?
So that the users can not change the proxy settings for the IE? I'm basically looking for the Registry key to manipulate, since we can not use the policies.

Thank you all.

You can setup a system policy using Poledit that prevents the users from making any changes to the Proxy settings.

Thanks for your reply, but We can not use policy on these pc. Since the buid of the workstation is not ours, we can not use the policy. The only thing we can do is chaning the registry.

Any idea, what keys would do the work?

Here is an extract from the Policy.

CATEGORY !!ConnectionTab
KEYNAME "Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel"
POLICY !!ConnectionTab
PART !!RestrictConnectionWizard CHECKBOX
VALUENAME "Connection Wizard"
END PART
PART !!RestrictConnectionSettings CHECKBOX
VALUENAME "Connection Settings"
END PART
PART !!RestrictProxy CHECKBOX
VALUENAME Proxy
END PART
PART !!RestrictAutoconfig CHECKBOX
VALUENAME Autoconfig
END PART
END POLICY
END CATEGORY


Therefore it appears that you create an entry in the registry under;

"Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel" called Proxy and set it on (value of 1 I assume)

Hope this helps.

Thanks so much.
I'm home now and the only system I have all are Win2K.

I would love to test that but I have to wait till tomorrow to get to work.

So thanks and hope it works.

Quick Tip: There are very few differences between NT's Registry and W2k's.

There is a program called x-setup that you can do that and much more with. If you wanna take a look at it, go to xteq.com.
