IE / XP HOME

[noone]

I have XP home and want to force users to use proxy server.

I either want to make tab grey, or hide it completely.

I walso want to prevent access to installing a new broswer which I
believe I can do by making them have 'limited' accounts.

I know GPEDIT is not available in XP Home, but is there anyway I can
prevent users changing proxy settings?

thanks.

You can disable Internet Options using the following registry key:

To open the Registry Editor:

Click START
Click RUN
Type 'regedit' (without quotes) & press OK

All Users:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Restrictions

Current User:


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Restrictions

Create a new DWORD 'NoBrowserOptions' & set it to '1' (one (without quotes))

I hope this helps,

NOONE,

Here's if you want to just disable the Proxy setting:

Current User:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Control Panel

All Users:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control
Panel


Create a new DWORD value called 'Proxy' (without quotes)

Double click it to change its value:

1 - Disable Proxy <---- your setting
0 - Enable Proxy


If any of the keys in this or my last post don't exist you need to create
them
