Hello-

Is there a way to add a new user account to my computer, that allows access
to Microsoft Office, etc. but does not allow access to internet or e-mail?
Please help, I can not figure it out.

Thanks!

Hi


Select Start button
Select set program access and defaults
Select the Custom Dropdown selector
The enable access to this program checkbox for Internet Explorer has a tick,
remove it and ok.

Regards

John

i would like to have access to the internet and e-mail (such as the
administrator, etc)?

Sorry, I should have been more specific now that i am looking at this ... i
am the administrator on this computer, and i would like to set up a limited
account user who does not have access to internet or e-mail. Using the
instructions given below, how can i set that up so the administrator account
still has access to internet and e-mail, but the limited account user does
not?

Please advise, and thank you for your assistance!

Hi
Navigate to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer
Right Click the file IEXPLORE.EXE and select Properties, then Security
Under the Group or User Names: Select Add... and add the user(s) you do not
want to have access to the internet.
Select the user(s) and under the Permissions for..... select Deny Full
Control, this also selects the other entries by default.
Do this only for the selected users or you will not have access yourself.
This can also be applied to any programme you do not want them to run.

Not foolproof but the only way to do that would be use xp pro and run a
security policy for a group.

Regards

John

Hello again-

I do not see a file by the name of IEXPLORE.EXE under my C:\Program FIles
Internet Explorer ...

The Internet Explorer file folder is on the C:\Program Files - but when I
open up the folder I see the following sub-folders: Connection Wizard, MUI,
PLUGINS, SIGNUP, HMMAPI.DLL and then files iedw, and IEXPLORE ... when I
right-click on the IEXPLORE and select properties, the only tabs I see are:
General, Version, Compatibility, and Summary ... there is not a tab or
anything that says 'Security'. ... I even did a search for the IEXPLORE.EXE
file and it brought me to the file that i have just referenced ...

When I right-click on the Internet Explorer icon on my desk top and select
properties, there is a security tab, but nothing on that security tab that
says Group or User names ... i'm stumped ...

In Windows Explorer click Tools | Folder Options | View and uncheck the
option to hide extensions for known file types.

Sorry Katie,
The File is IEXPLORE the file extension as Frank has pointed out is a
hidden extension. Follow Franks tip and then try my suggestion again.
BTW you will only see the security tab if yu are logged in a as an
Administrator.

Regards


John

One little item that's been overlooked in this discussion is
the possibility that the OP is running XP Home Edition on her
computer. She's never going to see a Security tab unless she
boots into Safe Mode. Even if she's running XP Pro, she's got
to disable Simple File Sharing in order to gain access to the
Security tab.

Also, instead of using Deny to restrict access she'd be better
off removing permissions for the Everyone group and only leave
the Administrators group with Full Control permissions. These
permissions should be setup at the folder level, not for
individual files.
