Customize Group Policy

[Guest]

I was wonderig how I could do the the following:

On some of our users we hide the address bar in internet explorwer. I do
this by logging on as the user and opening IE and going to view-> toolbars ->
address bar to remove it. I thn log off and through local GPO's I prevent
the user's from seeing the menu bar at all in effect hiding the address bar.
In reality the can use the search function and get around it but for the most
part this serves its purpose. What I want to do is through Domain GPO's
implemet the hiding of th address bar. There is no such policy. Does anyone
know a registry fix or a customized template to accomplish this.

Hi,

I'd like to provide following steps for your reference:

1. Created a new OU and created a new test user in this OU
2 Created a new GPO and linked it to this OU
3. Went to user configuration->windows components->toolbars->disable
customizing rowser toolbar buttons->enabled it
4. Also enabled disable customizing browser toolbars
(this setting will disallow users to customize browser toolbars once
administrator hides the address bar)
5. Now, we need to hide the address on a machine and then export the
following key :
HKEY_current-user->software->microsoft->IE->toolbar->Webbrowser to a .reg
file
6. Then we need to import this .reg file to the machine that the user logs
in to. Best way is to define a logon script and put the .reg file in the
script

Let me know the results. Thanks.
