JSI Tip 3810. How do I prevent Users from altering 'Internet Options'?

The easiest way I know to prevent users from altering Internet Options, both from Control Panel and from the Internet Explorer Tools menu, is to remove the users permissions on %SystemRoot%\System32\Inetcpl.cpl.

To do this from the command line:

echo y|cacls %SystemRoot%\system32\inetcpl.cpl /T /G system:F administrators:F

NOTE: See tip 3811.
