More info?)
I am in the same boat as Theodore and the last post answers only part of the
problem. I can disable folder access to Internet Explorer for the desired
users, but they can still access the Internet through other programs such as
Outlook or even typing a web address in My Computer.
Is there an effective way to disable Internet browsing for individual users
without cutting off email or any other application that has web browsing
capabilities?
