You're right, for some reason I thought it fired up the the iexplore
process in the background once a web url had been entered into the
address bar!

When a user browses from windows explorer it does not use IEXPLORE.EXE
so disabling it does not work.

How about disabling permisions for you user to iexplore.exe?

Appsense server based tool kit can do this....Has a trail download on
their
web site.
Expensive product for that one little piece.
It stops users typing things such as "c:\" could be blocked. This is
in any
app. It could allow or disallow "www." To be typed in explorer tool
bar...Also ideal if user can get to the run command.
Is there a reg edit to hide the way to hide the address bar instead?

Can't this be accomplished by disabling the run command?

Use your hosts file to place an IP address that you chose instead of
the
correct IP. For example games.zone.com you could place in the host
file
to 127.0.0.1 or if you want to get fancy redirect to your own web
server
and have a page on your server that says "Access denied".
If you want to allow them to all websites but now allow them to the
local drive letters you can block this with a policy. I have forgotten
what policy I have that blocks this but when I place a UNC path in the
address bar I get a message "Access to the resource M:\ has been
disallowed". I am running the IEAK policies.

I will be publishing specific Web sites via Kiosk Mode but I don't
want
users to be able to browse from the Windows Explorer. I was hoping
there
was some DLL required or something that I could block individually.

you could force in a non-existent proxy server address in the
settings.
