prevent download under NT

If you work through a proxy server, then look at the proxy server settings - it shoudl be possible to do it. You may simply have to block that users IP address from Internet access totally.

If your not using a proxy server and your running a firewall there might be a way to disable access to the internet. If that does not work, get the owner/manager to write a accemtable use policy that everyone signs and with that if this person keeps doing it...show them out..

The easiest way is to open Tools/Internet Options in Internet Explorer, click on the Security tab, then the Custom button. Scroll down to the option for downloading files and select "Disable." You'll need to do this on the workstation, and repeat it for each Zone. If you have a problem user in mind who knows a bit too much, I would also delete ftp.exe from the machine.

A good idea, too, if your users are not the most web savvy on the block. I've just spent two weeks undoing damage from SUEs (Stupid User Events) - after this vacation I think I'll disable them all!
