Hi,

Do you know how can I restrict the IE to only access web pages and avoid it
from accessing the local drives ?

Thank you,

Sato

Don't know if it is acceptable in you system but you may want to hide your
local drives.
Try out this registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explor
er]
"NoDrives"=dword:xxxxxxxx;
(e.g. "NoDrives"=dword:000000FC disables C-H drives)

Explorer (shell) & IE will be affected by the registry value.

Change HKEY_CURRENT_USER by HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT if you want such behavior
for all users.

Hope this helps,
KM

Hi KM,

Thank you very much for your answer. It really works.
But if you type C: <ENTER> the its content is presented.
Do you know how to avoid this ?

Thanks,

Sato

Hi Sato,

I am not really sure waht you are asking for. If you have the registry
setting I mentioned previously in your user registry branch, then under the
user account whenever you type "C:\" in IE or Windows Explorer address bar
and press Enter you should see the following error message: "Access to the
resource 'C:\' has been disallowed.".
Is it what you were looking for?

I have tested with administrator account and it does not work, but I will
test it with an user account.
And it is what I am looking for.

Thanks again,

Sato
