I have a group of computers that need to be locked down, and I mean lockaed
down. I have most of the setting configured in GP for and OU of accounts.

The workstations need to have a couple of maped drives but I don't want the
users to browse the maped drives. Can this be done through GP of only
through NTFS permissions.

Also...

Is there a setting in GP to keep users from using Internet Explorer to
browse local compter. IE needs to be used for only web browsing.

Thanks in advanced.
