Start > Run > Type "gpedit.msc" without the quotes > Hit enter > Click on
User > Click on Administrative Templates > Click on Windows Componenents >
Click on Internet Explorer > Click on Browser Menues > Disable Menu Options.
This is what it does:

Prevents users from opening the Internet Options dialog box from the Tools
menu in Microsoft Internet Explorer.

If you enable this policy, users cannot change their Internet options, such
as default home page, cache size, and connection and proxy settings, from
the browser Tools menu. When users click the Internet Options command on the
Tools menu, they are informed that the command is unavailable.

If you disable this policy or do not configure it, users can change their
Internet settings from the browser Tools menu.

Caution: This policy does not prevent users from viewing and changing
Internet settings by clicking the Internet Options icon in Windows Control
Panel.

Also, see policies for Internet options in the \Administrative
Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer and in \Administrative
Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Internet Control Panel
folders.
