How to stop, internet browsing from "My Computer" 1

[richmond88]

Does anybody, know how to stop users, being able to use the internet from the My Computer Address bar? I can disable Internet Explorer but, the ability to type a url in the "My Computer" bar is still possible.

Any idea's would be great!!!!

THanks for the above, but I need to be able to implement this restriction on selected users. Prefereably by Login Script and registry edit. is there a reg key to stop this browsing?

The IPSEC trick works fine if you are in a Domain, as you can place the users in an OU and use Group Policy.

In a workgroup setting, you can use the fake proxy server trick by user, as the registry change would be made in the user profile:

Note: this is not to say that the IPSEC trick will not work on stand-alone or small Workgroup settings, but configuring Group Policy by user becomes more tedious.
