Q. How can a script lock the Internet Explorer 7 Toolbars?

Using REG.EXE, built into Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and later operating systems, or installed from the Windows 2000 Support Tools, I have scripted LockIETB.bat to lock the Internet Explorer 7 toolbars.

The syntax for using LockIETB.bat is:

\[call\] LockIETB

NOTE: See tip 11069 » How can a script determine if the Internet Explorer 7 Toolbars are locked?

LockIETB.bat contains:

@echo off
setlocal
call :quiet >nul 2>&1
endlocal
goto :EOF
:quiet
set key1="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar"
reg ADD %Key1% /V Locked /T REG_DWORD /F /D 1
