We are a public library wanting to lockdown features by graying out certain boxes so our patrons can't get in and browse the network. Here's what I found: 1. We will be using the Print Preview button instead of the print button on the toolbar but when a patron uses Print Preview they can go to page setup-printer-network and browse the network. {they only can look across to the staff segment and shouldn't be able to do anything, but we want the temptation to be "grayed out" :-) 2. View-privacy report gets to the IE6 settings {like to gray this out also} 3. help-contents and index-options-internet options {like to gray out} both 2&3 a patron can potentially change the IE settings even if for the session they can still uncheck the file download and install on demand on the current session, and we don't want to be able to take this risk. On the IE 6.0 IEAK toolkit I don't see anything that'll let you gray out boxes within the browser. And the customization tools aren't more than customizing them while you are in the browser {it even says in the help files the way of customizing the security settings is the same within the toolkit or the browser itself} and saving the settings. We lock down one PC this way and then create an image of it with all the configuration changes {autocomplete off, no passwords, etc}from Norton Ghost 6.0 and put it on the public server to download the image to several other PC's with 4 specific public usernames. We're running Novell 4.11. The person who originally set this up {consultant to the city government}used Novell's lockdown features {that's a reason not to use IEAK because it may cancel Novell's lockdown features???} The real question here is if there are any OS registry settings I can add or change to gray out these boxes that are in IE6? Thanks much. I am learning as I go. Thomas S. Cole "Hold No Punches.." Rode brings you great shareware/freeware programs with his honest opinions in this weekly column. http://freepctech.com/rode
