You're doing this for your Cyber Cafe? You can do this through the Group Policy Editor on the local machine by following these steps:

1. Run gpedit.msc (Start > Run > gpedit.msc <Enter>)

2. Navigate to Local Computer Policy > User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Internet Control Panel > Security Page

3. For each Zone in the Security Page section there is an option for Allow file downloads. Set it to disabled.

Be sure to give this some thought before setting this though because setting it on the local machine will disable file downloads for all users.

If you have an Active Directory a better option would be to put the restricted users into their own OU and then creating a custom GPO for that OU with these settings. That way you, as the administrator and non-restricted user, could still logon to the machine with full access to perform maintenance and other tasks.

Having XP Home rules out having an Active Directory since you can't join an XP Home install to a domain. I think gpedit.msc is available on XP Home, but I don't have an XP Home machine handy to check that for you. You can find out by trying to launch it from the Run command.

In that case what you actually want to do is remove the Browse feature. I'll have to do some research on this (someone else may already have the answer) but in the meantime you can force the default download directory through the following registry value:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]

Value Name: Download Directory

Type: REG_SZ

Value Data: Full path to directory (i.e. C:\Downloads)

[roy1984]

oh yes.... that registry key i got already....

may be another way....

how about remove the dialog box below?

that's mean when they starting a download, the files will be stored into the specified directory

and

once clicking on the "save" button the menu will not prompt out to ask which directory to be saved

Do you know the way to disable the dialog box show?

That's what I'm trying to figure out now...I'm just not having much luck finding anything. I haven't given up yet though...I'll post again if I find something. Using a 3rd part download manager may do the trick

I can't believe I forgot about this. You may also want to give SiteKiosk a look as it has a ton of features to control what users can or can't do on the system:

I'm using that on a public access terminal and it's been very good at keeping users from getting into things we don't want them into. It has features and add-ons that are specifically geared towards Cyber Cafes.

gpedit.msc is NOT available on XP home ed.

(There may be a tweak to get it, but I have never tried).

Thanks for helping here !

I will try the SiteKiosk and looking for what I want

and I hope you can find the solution for that

Men.... You're Great

[roy1984]

Yeah Kiosk this is good !!!

If there is only this stand-alone page in a pack of software will be better
