how do I restrict MS explorer use in users to prevent copying or deleting files in a MS 2003 Small B server?

I don't think you can prevent it.\n\nThere are setting that will get around  and also plug-ins or programs that will copy anything.\n\nstef\n\n\nps  I tried to reply to your email but got errors but thank you for your comments back.\nbye

Not necessarily. Disable sharing your drives, and turn on the firewall if you're using Windows XP

Assuming you were making the joke that Internet Explorer is as good as spyware, there are several ways to eliminate it. First, try right-clicking "my computer" - properties - "System Restore" tab - check "Turn off system restore on all drives" and press OK.\nNow, navigate to "C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Internet Explorer" and delete everything in that folder (make sure you don't currently have internet explorer windows open, and make sure you have some other way to access the internet, such as Mozilla Firefox).\nWait a few seconds, if you start noticing the files popping back up, then you're going to need to do something clever that I found out how to do on my own.. Navigate to C:&#92;Windows&#92;System32&#92; and find a file called mstinit.exe ...if you run it you'll notice it doesn't do anything and it doesn't stay running, nor does it take up system resources. You should copy this file onto your desktop and rename it to iexplore.exe (or just iexplore if your file extensions are hidden (if you can't see the .exe at the end of the mstinit then file extensions are hidden and just name the file iexplore))\nNow, right click the newly renamed file and click copy, and then go back to C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Internet Explorer ..quickly delete the iexplore.exe in that directory and click paste (this must be done very quickly)\n\nI tried replacing iexplore with my own program that just automatically terminated, but windows would overwrite it with the original iexplore every time, until I realized that it looks at more than the file name, but doesn't go so far as to check the program's content. So I found a program that was included with windows that would automatically terminate if no arguments were provided, and that had a valid Microsoft program signature. The system restore checks look at the new iexplore.exe (formerly mstinit.exe), check for a microsoft signature, and then leave it alone. Now every time you click on a link to open internet explorer, mstinit will run and terminate, just as though you had uninstalled the microsoft beast.\n\nThere IS one drawback to this. This method only deletes the Internet Explorer shell, not the inner dlls and system workings. AKA you can still type a url into the address bar of a normal folder, and it will display the website using IE's protocols.\n\n\n\nMy apologies if this answer had nothing to do with the question at hand. If you truly are looking for a way to get rid of spyware, go to www.download.com and search for Spybot Search and Destroy\n\n[edit] PS, you should re-enable system restore after all that is done, it's a handy fallback [/edit]

it  is possible to do this but it a little difficult. u will have to delete the registry keys to get rid of it. u will have to type regedit in run command and then go to HKEY_current_user then go to microsoft then go to internet explorer and in that typedURLs there delete the keys u don't want.

I can't say I even undertand the question.\n\nIn Windows XP Professional and higher, you can right click on a file (EXEs included) and change the permissions in the "Security" tab, adding and removing users of the local system or NT domain...

To access this drive, you will need to change some settings. BY default, in Windows XP, the security tab for a file system is hidden. You will need to unhide it through Explorer>>Tools>>Options>>View. Uncheck "Use simple file sharing(recommended)"\nNow, right click on the inacessible drive and select properties. Select the security tab. Click advanced.  Click on owner. the rest should be clear.

This is a difficult one. I am going to assume that you are using XP professional and that you may be a student using a computer in a lab or some one working at a major company with large network and IT budget, or some one like a parent/sibling is trying to stop you from changing settings there in folder options.\n\nIn XP there is a program called Group policy editor and one of the things you can disable with it is the folder options menu. If the account you are logged in with is not an administrative account you might be lost already. If you are logged in with an account htat has administrative priovelages then goto START and then RUN.\n\ntype in GPEDIT.MSC. if you see a message about access denied then your'e out of luck. A setting in Group policy editor can be set to dissallow the use of group policy editor.\n\nIf you can get into group policy editor then you are moments away from that FOLDER OPTIONS menu.\n\nGo into GPEDIT using the instructions above (Start > run etc)\n\nExpand user configuration by click on the + sign next to it(if it's a minus just leave it). Now expand ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES and the Expand WINDOWS COMPONENTS and the WINDOWS EXPLORER. click on the WINDOWS EXPLORER folder. See there are many settings.\n\nRIGHT click on REMOVES THE FOLDER OPTIONS MENU ITEM FROM THE TOOLS MENU and select PROPERTIES.\n\nClick the option box DISABLED and then click APPLY(just in case) and then OK.then goto FILE and EXIT. Restart your PC and it should be there.

there is no way. even as an administrator of the computer, the secondary users still have that information kept private from you. thats the joys of windows xp lol

•Open My Computer \n•Double-click the drive where Windows is installed (usually drive (C:), unless you have more than one drive on your computer). \n•If the contents of the drive are hidden, under System Tasks, click Show the contents of this drive. \n•Double-click the Documents and Settings folder. \n•Double-click your user folder. \n•Right-click any folder in your user profile, and then click Properties. \n•On the Sharing tab, select the Make this folder private so that only I have access to it check box.

You can apply ACL permissions at the file level with active directory permissions to prevent an executible from being ran.\n\nIf you want to restrict a user from logging into that machine just add the machines that the user can log into in that account setup under AD.\n\nOther than that more clarification is required

Your username is not having access to these folders. This is the reason. You need to get the ownership of these folders.\n\nTo take the ownership of the folders, You must be having Administrative Privileges.  If you have it, then you can try these steps to delete those folders :\n\n1. Right click on the Folder. Click on Properties.\n2. Click on Security Tab\n3. In the lower-right part of the window, you will see a button named "Advanced". Click on it.\n4. Click on Owner Tab.\n5. Click on your Username / Administrator and put a tick on "Replace the owner"\n6. Click on OK. (Click "OK" for any windows appearing)\n\nNow you will be able to delete that folder.\n(These are the steps for Windows 2003 Server. Steps will be slight different for other versions of Operating Systems)\n\nGood luck.

This registry setting will only allow the CD-ROM to be accessed by the locally logged in user:\n\nHKLM/software/microsoft/windows nt/currentversion/winlogon\nallocatecdroms = 1\n\nThis will disable the ability to share the CD rom drive.\n\nYou can do the same with floppies with "allocatefloppies=1"
