User Restrictions and Internet Explorer Version 5.x

Applying User Restrictionsto

Internet Explorer Version 5.01 and Above

The are a number of user restrictions that you can apply to Internet Explorer (IE) 5.01 and above to govern just how Internet Explorer can be used in your environment, whether that is at home or on a network. The table below provides you with a comprehensive listing of the limitations you can to the Internet Explorer environment. These limitations can be applied to either a single user or to everyone using the specific computer.

To apply restrictions to one user, set the restriction in this Windows Registry Key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Restrictions

To apply restrictions to all users, set the restriction in this Windows Registry Key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Restrictions

*If you set a restriction at both the user and the machine level, the machine level setting takes precedence.

**A value of 1 enables the restriction, while a value of 0 disables the restriction.

To add a restriction, perform the following steps:

  1. Start regedit.exe.
  2. Go to either HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Restrictions (for a user), or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Restrictions (for all users).
  3. From the Edit menu, select New, DWORD value.
  4. In the table, find the desired value, enter it for the Value name, and press Enter.
  5. Double-click the new value and set it to 1 to enable the restriction. Click OK.
  6. Close regedit.
