Can you password protect IE ?

[SHANT]

What up guys, Is there a way to password protect Internet Explorer?

I know you can setup different profiles on the Windows OS but i'm trying to see if thers a way when you launch IE for it to prompt you for a PW?

Is this possible?

TIA..

Not with anything built into the browser. You'd have to find an addon. Trying to keep someone from surfin yer internets? Why not just take the ethernet cord out when you aren't using it?

In IE look for the Content Advisor: Tools|Internet Options|Content|

Because they can just as easily plug it back in...

What is your objective?

Take it with you.

There are add-ons that do this, and you could also configure the firewall (and password protect it) to block the relevant ports.

Heres the situaion a close friend of mine has a sports retail shop, he has 2 PC's in his store and his employees lately have been on the net lately and he just wants to put a PW on IE so when they launch it they wont be able to browse the web, however they need the computer for there inventory monitoring system, he just wants to PW protect IE.

The firewall can handle this.

Uninstall IE. Employees = owned.

at work, we went to a hospital-like place and disabled IE. i'll see if i can remember how we did it.

i don't think IE can be uninstalled from windows.

one thing you could do (if they aren't computer geniuses, which i'm assuming they aren't since they aren't working with computers) is just go into tools>Internet Options>Connections>Lan Settings... Then check the first checkbox underneath proxy server. in the Address box and port box, type in random numbers. when they go to get on the internet, it won't work. to make it work again, just uncheck the box. its crude, but it'll work.

You can create a separate customized Guest account on the computer. From here, you can go into Add/Remove Programs--Windows Components and delete IE. This will only delete the shortcuts for IE, so if they don't know otherwise, to them IE will appear non-existant.

You can also prevent them from digging around for files on the computer, thus denying them access to the IE executable.

Use the firewall to Block Port 80
