Dear Support

I need to block internet explorer for one user - I don't have access to Active directory in order to use the policy and block from the policy. IS there any way to do on windows xp workstation itself. I need to have 2 users - one with access to Interent explorer and other one can not use it at all.
Thanks in advance

This can be done. Log in as the local admin to the workstation. Navigate to c:\program files\Internet Explorer\ right click on Internet Explorer.exe add the user id and make sure all permissions for that user are set to deny. This should accomplish what you need.

The problem is that when I navigate to c:\program files\Internet Explorer\ right click on Internet Explorer.exe - I can not add the user id and make permissions for that user. There is no option for it. I try to do through the folder of Internet explorer and over there also I can not click on make this folder private -

At the command prompt type:
cacls c:\program files\
Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe /g username:F

The username should be for the person who needs access.
