prevent history deletion

[Art Lagun]

Can I prevent other users deleting the IE6 history?. I
have the administator account, all other users will use a
limited account (windows XP).

Art,
You can create the following Registry restriction:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control
Panel]
"History"=dword:00000001
--
Log on as each user and apply the above.
The below affects *all* users (log on as Administrator)
--
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control
Panel]
"History"=dword:00000001
--
Value Data: (0 = disable restriction, 1 = enable restriction)
Note: always Export before editing.
--
You might want to create a simple reg file? (save as: LockHistory.reg)
Create another one, change the value to "0" (save as: UnlockHistory.reg)
--
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control
Panel]
"History"=dword:00000001
