gpo to disable menu -> tools (ie6)

[Tim Moor]

dear gpo-gurus,
i could not find a gpo to disable the 'tools'-menu in the internet explorer.
is there a gpo to do that or do i have to create a special registry-adm.
please not: i'd like to disable the whole menu entry tools.

thanx alot

Hi,

You can pretty much block everything "in" the tools menu. What are
you specifically worried about? All the settings are in
User Config-Admin Templates-Windows Components-Internet Explorer.

i'd like to avoid, that users (in our ts-environment) try to configure mail
/ news which can be launched from extras !

thank you

Hi,

The way to do that is set security on Outlook Express. I have a xcacls
script that runs on startup and sets the security on Outlook Express
folder to System and Administrator = Full Control. No one else has
access to it.

Put in batch file and set as startup script.

cscript.exe \\server\Netlogon\xcacls.vbs "C:\Program
Files\Outlook Express" /T /P BUILTIN\Administrators:F /P
BUILTIN\System:F /L /R BUILTIN\Users c:\xcacls.log

Cheers,

Lara
