I would like to limit access to this program for some users on my computer, but don't know where to find it. It didn't show up when I did a search.

I looked in c:\program files\internet explorer and it's not there. In fact, I searched my whole sytem for the file and it's not there, but I can still run the program.

It's a hidden system file. Did you enable Hidden and System files and
folders in your search or in Windows Explorer? (If you can run the program
then the file MUST be there!)

I know it must be somewhere in order for internet
explorer to run, but even when I search hidden and system
files it doesn't appear. Help!

Puah,

How are you searching for iexplore.exe? Have you tried searching for it
using cmd.exe? If not then do the following:

1. launch cmd.exe
2. navigate to the root of the system drive
3. type the following without quotes - "dir iexplore.exe /s"


I hope this helps,

Here is the location of my copy:
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

It is neither hidden nor a system file. It is only ninety-one
kilobytes in size so is probably a stub for a larger file integrated
into the operating system as Microsoft has been wont to do.
