Here is the deal. You have locked down a desktop. NOT the internet. If
you users are doing that you have two solutions (and neither have to do
with Citrix)
1- There has to be a corporate policy on internet usage.
2- Internet filtering. Via a simple proxy or more advanced software like
Surf Control.=20
Up to you. Creating a "locked down" desktops helps to secure the citrix
server, not internet use. Besides, to keep users from surfing you can
get the boos to get you some cool new software to play with.

Subject: [THIN] Locked down published desktop
Hello,
I publish the desktop and lock it down so that the users can't right=20
click on anything, hide ALL IE stuff, removed the FILE menu option on=20
the applications, etc...
I just opened "My Documents" and types in the address bar "My=20
Documents\junk" and I was able to get IE to launch with a URL of=20
"http://auto.search.msn.com/results.asp/ect....."; . Now I can go=20
anywhere on the NET when I really should have a locked down desktop.
I don't know of any user doing this (yet). Is there something I'm=20
missing, or is this the way it should work?
