Group Policy Lockdown with IE and WMP

[quinla01]

Hi guys,

I'm after your advice here.

I'm currently implementing a large XP Lockdown. I've completed all the desktop settings and I’m now looking at what features I can lockdown on IE 6.

I'm using group policy in an Active Directory environment and all my clients are XP. So far the only policies i have applied are those that remove the tabs in the Tools--> Options menu. What other policies do you guys recommend? I’d like to prevent them from installing active X and other scripts that can cause problems although I don’t want to prevent them from browsing the internet freely since for many of them it’s necessary for part of their jobs.

I’d also like to stop streaming media on Windows Media player since I have found many users listening to Radio which is hogging our limited bandwidth.

Any other Evil lockdowns you guys can think of would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Andy.
