limit IE to only appoved sites?

[boshuter]

We have cable internet at work, only one pc. I need to find a way to limit the new secretary to only be able to go to a few internet sites we approve. Is there an easy way to do this? Ideally, I would like to only have these sites show up in "favorites" and nothing else. I would also have to disable any ability for her to type in and search for any other URL's. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated!

BTW, the pc is running XPpro, w/Zone Alarm Pro.

You may use the Restricted sites on Security tab and content advisor of Internet options
but this would enable the user to change the new settings, unless you apply a password.
Hope this will do some help.

I thought about that. But wouldn't I have to restrict every site except the ones we want her to be able to access? I'm not sure how that would work, I need to restrict everything with the exception of about 6 sites.

GPEDIT.MSC Under User Config, then Windows Settings, then IE Maint, then URLs to add those 6 sites. Look under Admin Templates, then Windows Componants, then click IE, should have a few more settings you want.

Do some reading on Group policies, you can lock/disable=break alot of things in there if you are not carefull.
