JSI Tip 1976. What user restrictions can I implement in Internet Explorer 5.01?

To implement restrictions for both the browser and integrated shell, use Regedt32 to navigate to:

All users of this computer

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions

Selected user(s)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions

For each restriction listed below, add the Value Name as a type REG_DWORD. Set the data value to a 1 to implement the restriction. Set it to a 0 to remove the restriction.

NOTE: If you have both workstation and user based restrictions, workstation restrictions take precedence. If a given restriction (Value Name) does NOT exist for the workstation, user restrictions are checked. A 0 data value for the workstation prevents the user restriction for that Value Name from being checked. A restriction also inhibits any associated keyboard shortcut.
