I have a computer on the Network that is being used by several users. I only need one user to be able to access the Internet. I came across a workstation that required a user to enter a password when they load IE before they can browse. How do I achieve this on the Computer I am setting up.

Open Internet Explorer, go to Tools, go to Internet Options, go to Security, Highlight Internet, go to Custom Level, go down to Logon, Click on prompt for User Name and Password. Set accordingly.
You could use a firewall software to block any unauthorized user from gaining access to the internet. Only that one user with the appropriate credentials could penetrate through the firewall and browse.
If your users aren't extremly literate, the easy way would be create seperate User Names with Passwords, and on the ones you don't want to access IE, remove all IE shortcuts from their personalized start menu and desktops. I know it's not the most watertight option, but combined with a crafty hiding sport for the IE .exe file, it would be an easy fix...Good Luck...
