Hi,
I changed (under admin password) IE setting giving fake proxy to block
internet,
but when I relogin under user account IE settings were not changed and user
still has access
to them. IS there a way to lock it like e.g network settings?
thanks

Proxy settings are per-user, not per-machine.

The best solution here is to authenticate users with your proxy server or
firewall.

Regards

Oli

why the IE setting like LAN, proxy etc are not only for ADMIN access....
User has restricted access and still can change the proxy or other IE
settings.

Correct. By design.
