Setting System Policies and Restrictions

This appendix describes how you can use system policies and restrictions to control user and computer access to Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 features and functions. Using the Internet Explorer Customization wizard or Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) Profile Manager, you can predefine Internet Explorer options and customize the Internet Explorer environment for different groups of users.

Note You can also use Group Policy in Windows 2000 and the System Policy Editor in Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0 to set system policies and restrictions. For more information about Group Policy, refer to Appendix A, "Windows 2000 Configuration Solutions for Internet Explorer," in the Internet Explorer Resource Kit and the "Group Policy" chapter in the Distributed Systems Guide of the Windows 2000 Resource Kit. For specific instructions about how to install and use the System Policy Editor, see the Microsoft Windows 95 Resource Kit, the Microsoft Windows 98 Resource Kit, or the Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Resource Kit.
