out of interest what software is it you want to block from calling home?
When all else fails, you could edit the Hosts file to block it from connecting, you'll need to know their IP and DNS name.
If you want to try it I will post instructions for you.
The way I read it is that the programs help files are connecting by launching IE, it's not a link or putting an addy into IE.
Either way, or in any event nothing can circumvent the Hosts file ! It will only stop anything including IE to connect to that site, it wont stop IE from launching.
I even went into IE Security tab and put the domain as a 'restricted site'. No affect.
