May I ask *why* you want to prevent users from surfing?

and lock down everything. Works like a charm. If you cannot find a
*.adm file that has this option you can find the appropriate
registry key and write your own. Lots of info about this on the
web.

Subject: [windows2000] Blocking Internet Browsing from Explorer.exe

 
Hi, have scanned the archives but struggled find anything.  I need
to stop users being able to put URL's into the Windows Explorer
address bar and surfing the net.  We've restricted Internet
Explorer to certain times of the day but users are begining to
realise that they can still surf the net from Explorer.exe and it's
becoming a real pain.
 
Anyone got any good pointers or suggestions would be great.
 
Thanks
 
Mark
