Restricting Users

[Tragdor]

I need some help restricting users on some NT workstations. I want these users only to be able to access one program and one intranet site but I'm not sure what the best option is. I don't want these users to be able to do or see anything else. I'm guessing I'll need to edit the registry but I'm not sure what I need to change to accomplish this. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
-Rob

Referring to internet restrictions, if you are using IE, you can disable the address bar. See

for this and more ideas.

Well this is probably too much but I would build an image that only has the one app installed on it and nothing else except what is necessary to get the app and IE to work. Then I'd run IE in kiosk mode and disable all options to let user change to any other site or modify IE settings.
Yep its a huge pain to do but when done you have an image to put back on when ever required.

You can do this all quite easily using a Local System Policy.

Do Start > Programs > Administrative Tools (Common) > System Policy Editor.

Here is a tutorial on using it. It is geared toward a school environment but can be adapted easily.
