Hi anyone who can help!
I am trying to disable internet explorer for certain accounts on a shared
computer terminal at work, whilst leaving outlook express functioning. Can
anyone recommend a good way to do this for the version and O/S?
One way I thought of is to remove connections in IE and then disable the
tools-->Options pane. I know this can be done by editing the registry but
all advice I found on the internet points towards this key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\
Which I don't have. I have the subtree upto
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\
But no specific policy for IE? Can anyone tell me why? (I have service pack
4 installed, version 5.00.2195). Also this would not really be the best fix
becaause they anyone who is computer literate could then go into the
registry, re-enable internet options and setup their own connection! Is
their anyway to lock the registry for these accounts?
I would be extremely grateful if anyone could answer this question or
suggest a suitable alternative.

This may be little help as I have no experience with prohibiting users
from using IE but...
The key is not there because you haven't created it. It is not there
by default.
