How do I stop IE from running?

I would go from internet explorer to
Tools
Internet Options

then click on the Connections tab, the the Lan button.
In there I would set IE to go through a proxy server and put in a couple of letters. So basically it looks for a proxy serverthat is not there. IE may still pop up, but it will not find any sites.

Most people would say the IE Admin Kit is the way to go on this, but that could be more expense then it's worth.

Seems to me the easiest thing to do is to setup the content advisor or another filtering program like cyberpatrol. Cyberpatrol does have a time filter, so you can completely block someone's access based on the time of day without any cybernot lists.

I suppose if you're using DHCP, you could setup a scope for the people's MAC addresses on their NICS and then assign them a gateway, that would allow them to see other machines internally, but not the internet. But then you wonder, what's going to prevent someone from manually entering that into the network applet. Only thing I can think to do there would be to remove the netcpl.cpl from the system.

Good luck to you

after you input a bogus name in the proxy setting of IE, you can setup a policy to hide the connection tab in IE. Here's the reg key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel]
"ConnectionsTab"=dword:00000001
I think ur best bet is to setup a proxie server and create ID and PWD to access the internet.

Search for IEXPLORE.EXE and rename it to something else (with a non-executing extension, like IEXPLORE.OLD).
That should stop 'em.

Or, if you are running a NT environment, you can set up a System Policy to prevent certain machine names from running IE. This policy can be applied to Win9x machines. But, if these are just a bunch of Win9x machine in a peer-to-peer network, I would just change the application name on them.

Well, IE is resisting to die; So the only way to kill is to find a killer:

It is "IEradicator"
I have the old version which is free;
download.cnet.com/downloads/0-10058-108-44680.html

(I am not sure the new one is free or not; it seems to be free too.)
but the new ones can be found in
http://www.98lite.net/ieradicator.html

It is easy because it use ".inf" you can install it like a driver and it really works and your computer can become faster too!
