    Internet Explorer settings are configurable through Group Policy. You can try pointing the proxy server to a non existent IP address and then completely lock down IE so they can't change any settings. You will find these in User Settings.

    Subject: Stop browsing the web through GP?

    I have a Windows Server 2003 domain. I am looking for a way to keep
    users in a partcular OU from browsing the web. I want to accomplish
    this through Group Policy, but I can't find anything in the ADM
    templates for Users or for Computers. Is there another ADM template I
    am missing? Or is the policy all ready present and I am missing it? I
    have tried searching on Tech-Net and Google and I haven't been able to
    find anything. Please help.

    Loki
