MCT Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 My Sister is REALLY careless when it comes 2 downloading stuff, so, is there a way i can limit her downloading to nothing? its using win98, my server is using win2k3 ent. its only a p1 (hers, not mine) ive already asked my parents if they mind me doing it, & my dad was like "if you can do it, go ahead" EDIT: also is there a way 2 make her not able to send/recieve files threw MSN Messenger?

matrix0978 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Well i dont know about the uploading/downloading there could be a program for that. As for the MSN Messenger there has to be a file in the setup that you can erase to loose that capability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 u cannot limit her to dl nothing, well u can but it'd be stupid, well wait actually do u want to disable the "save to disk" sort of dling, bc otherwise if u don't want her to dl anything just kick her out of the network. to login to msn she has to dl & ul i'm sure u know that. as for a program i'm thinking but i dunno, u can edit the policy of a user in xp but i dunno about 98.

gamehead200 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I believe its either in the registry or in the Group Policy editor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlkDrgn465 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Maybe This'll help you out.in the internet explorer (i'm trying this on 6.0) tools -> internet options -> security -> internet -> custom levelsOn that page, there is an option to turn off downloading. Maybe that'll work for ya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 X-Setup - this should compensate for win98 missing group policy support..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sven Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 for msn, you can also find out which ports it uses for file transfer, and block them. i used to block all port outwards from my computer when i wanted to get my brother off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rendrag Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 How is your setup currently? Do you have a router you go through, or is it a shared connection. I know the router I have allows you to limit bandwidth on comm ports, physical network ports, time of day, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
