Internet Explorer Browser History
I have a soon to be teenager that has figured out how to delete browser
history. Is there a way I can disable this feature? I do not want anyone to be able to delete browsing history. Can only find ways to delete info, not KEEP it without special permission to delete. |

Well, if you're on the right sort of router, you can use features in the router to detect sites that teenager has been to (presuming that you personally don't go to play{boy,girl}.com and similar sites. This has the advantage that you can password protect your router so place it beyond the reach of all but the most inventive teenagers. Hardware solutions are usually the best. You could always threaten to fund the appropriate router out of deductions from teenager's allowance if history deleting continues. There may be mechanisms for forcing access through a proxy, and using the proxy to record site usage. Is this a shared system? It's easier if teenager is on their own system, so you can apply rules to one specific PC. You would block teenagers PC from direct access to the net, then force them through a proxy on another system. That proxy would record URL's visited. Of course, teenager will then start using a 3rd party proxy on a non-standard port number. People in police states do this all the time. I've even supplied such proxies on my own PC for colleagues in repressive states. Don't tell me teenagers name, or I might be tempted to offer a fee-based proxy. :-) The main problem is that teenagers are usually more computer savvy than parent. I work in the IT industry, and my colleagues have a continual battle controlling their offspring. -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk |

Technically....was that a no! A little more complex than I was looking for.
Was hoping for simple password protect to the browse history feature maybe. Thanks for your help.

I do not want anyone to be able to delete browsing history. Can only find ways to delete info, not KEEP it without special permission to delete. If you have XP professional and you assigned this Teen a limited account you can do this through the GPO by doing the following: Open a run command and type in: gpedit.msc click [OK] On the Group Policy under User Configuration: [- ] Administrator Templates [-] Windows Component [+] NetMeeting [+] Internet Explorer = look in the right pane for this Option: " Turn off " Delete Browsing History" functionality You can deny the teen this feature but allow yourself access to it as Admin. From there you can deny and allow the teen whichever you want Him/Her to have access to, beside you can use the content advisor to block certain sites for this teen. If you don't have XP professional then you will need to have a third-party software. Note some Teens comes here for help to break their parents Password and hack even into their accounts to have an Admin Preveliges and spy on their Parent!!!! You can also and best to Disallow installing software, unless you log and install it for the teen, but that too much harsh on the Teen and low selfsteem. HTH, nass --- http://www.nasstec.co.uk |

You set restrictive policies in the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Int ernet Explorer] "Restrictions"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Int ernet Explorer\Control Panel] "Accessibility"=dword:00000000 "Advanced"=dword:00000000 "AdvancedTab"=dword:00000000 "CalendarContact"=dword:00000000 "Certificates"=dword:00000000 "CertifPers"=dword:00000000 "CertifPub"=dword:00000000 "CertifSite"=dword:00000000 "Check_If_Default"=dword:00000000 "Colors"=dword:00000000 "Connection Settings"=dword:00000000 "ConnectionsTab"=dword:00000000 "Connwiz Admin Lock"=dword:00000000 "ContentTab"=dword:00000000 "Fonts"=dword:00000000 "GeneralTab"=dword:00000000 "History"=dword:00000000 "HomePage"=dword:00000001 "Languages"=dword:00000000 "Messaging"=dword:00000000 "Privacy Settings"=dword:00000000 "PrivacyTab"=dword:00000000 "Profiles"=dword:00000001 "ProgramsTab"=dword:00000000 "Ratings"=dword:00000000 "ResetWebSettings"=dword:00000000 "SecAddSites"=dword:00000000 "SecChangeSettings"=dword:00000000 "SecurityTab"=dword:00000000 "Wallet"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Int ernet Explorer\Restrictions] "NoBrowserClose"=dword:00000000 "NoBrowserOptions"=dword:00000000 "NoBrowserSaveAs"=dword:00000000 "NoFavorites"=dword:00000000 "NoFileNew"=dword:00000000 "NoFileOpen"=dword:00000000 "NoHelpItemNetscapeHelp"=dword:00000000 "NoHelpItemSendFeedback"=dword:00000000 "NoHelpItemTipOfTheDay"=dword:00000000 "NoPopupManagement"=dword:00000000 "NoTheaterMode"=dword:00000000 "NoViewSource"=dword:00000000 To activate a policy, change "dword:00000000" to "dword:00000001".
