Does anyone know how to completely deny internet acces to a user on Windows
XP Pro.? I have a single computer (not part of a workgroup or domain) and
would like only the local administrator to be able to access the internet
(use IE, be able to FTP, etc.). I want to be able to set up a local account
that can access all programs except IE and all other internet access.

easiyt (but perhaps a bit risky) way would be to give read permissons of mshtml.dll to only the administrator group. Of course, the problem arises that some other things (for the user) may brake. For example the "User Managment" panle (for some reason) depends upon mshtml.dll, and hence will no longer work (I have absalutly no idea why microsoft where possesed to use html and javascript to code this menu). A few other things may also stop working, but this is the one that comes to mind right now. (mshtml.dll is located here: C:\WINDOWS\system32\mshtml.dll)

Note: This method will only stop IE from working, asuming you dont have an alternative browser (like every one should) then non administrators wont be able to browse the web, but other intenret based programs will be able to (asume they dont stricktly depend on mshtml.dll)

You could try doing a search in Help for Hardware Profile. I'm not sure
if this method would work, but if it does, then just disable the NIC in
the profile that the user would be using.
