Hey admin,

If you are looking for software to do this, we have a product called
Browse Control that will let you turn the net on/off, put sites on a
white list (only approved sites can be accessed) and also offer you an
application block list that will prevent any application of your
choosing to stop being run. it's easy and cheap.

There is a Group Policy under User Configuration - Administrative
Templates - System called "Don't run specific Windows applications".
You can place the names of the executable, iexplore.exe in there to
prevent them
from running it. This is not fool proof by any means but it is a
start.

Be aware that any link that launches a browser will still allow this
to run.

You might also try renaming the executable but that can possibly
cause other issues.
Remember it's always best to test this in a lab first.
