    How to limit PC Usage to POS & Internet Explorer?


    Hello,

    I am a small business owner (Verizon Wireless Retailer)

    And would like to limit my employees to only a few select programs and IE websites.

    For example we would need access to


    -RQ4 (Our POS)
    -Microsoft Office
    -Adobe Reader
    -Java
    -Internet Explorer

    I would also like to limit the websites they can use to about two sites.

    Any and all help would be appreciated!

    Thank you,
    Danny T

    Welcome Djt511 to the windows 7 forums.

    One problem that I see is that if you allow Internet Explorer, they can go anywhere and run most anything.

    you can even browse the hard disk if they put the C:\ in the command line of the browser. they can then navigate to anyplace on the hard disk and execute a program.

    Might be better to get a good firewall and anti-virus either that or network filter like baraccuda or something cheaper.
