hi,
how can i prevent an installation of new browser (like opera, firefox,
netscape ...).
We need only IE on our network
is there a particular GPO (on win2000 server) or a particular registry
setting ?

thanks

Bruno

Don't let your users be power users or administrators. If you are using XP
Pro you can use Software Restriction Policies to enforce what a user can
install or run on their computer - even local administrator as long as they
don't unjoin the computer from the domain. SRP can be managed for XP pro
computers in a W2K domain. For W2K about the best you can do is to populate
the disallowed Windows applications list in Group Policy under user
configuration/administrative templates/system. You could list the
executables for those browsers, but the user can get around that restriction
if they can rename the executable. --- Steve
