In case anyone was interested you can indeed do this by simply telling IE to
work in a non-exesistant proxy server. (I used
10.0.0.1:5555). Then locking
out access to the Internet Options menu by adding a simple registry value
NoBrowserOptions to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions
If the Restrictions key does not exist then create it.
A value of 1 disables the Internet Option menu. Since this must be done in
the user's account and the Limited User does not have access to the registry
you will need to use the RunAs feature by going to C:\%WindowsRoot% and right
clicking on the Regedit.exe file, selecting RunAs and signing on as a user
with administator privilages. Hope this helps some of you.--
