Guest mike_XP_Vista Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Can Defender block acces to a program? I want to block kid's access to IE7, and in my old XP computer I could do that with ZoneAlarm Pro. Since I just got a new Vista, I am trying to use all the Vista stuff that's built in, rather than going to another solution. Thanks, Mike Quote

ZA was not the solution for this even on XP. Quote
Guest mike_XP_Vista Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 Could you give me a pointer on how to get started doing that? I have the new computer now, Vista Ultimate, and using Windows Firewall. I'd still like to block IE7 access by all users, all accounts (admin and standard).

Guest mike_XP_Vista Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Works well! Is there anyway to block it for just one standard user accout? That method works very well but removes IE7 for all users.

I thought you said that.? Anyway, no, that is a "blanket" restriction. For individual account, you have to go through Parental Control. WAIT! I know what you're going to say. But you have not seen it done this way, I don't think. Bear with me, you'll see what I mean :-- Control Panel> Parental Control> under PCONT, "dot" ON, further down, click Windows Vista WEB Filter> you're on Web Restrictions window. Check "only allow websites which are on the allow list", then click "Edit the Allow & Block list"> LEAVE EVERYTHING BLANK on this window, click OK> you're back to Web Restrictions window, and you'll see a popup, the one you WANT to see.Click yes, click OK > OK and close windows. This is what one will see if one tries to connect to internet (click the link) : -- t-4-2 Quote

Guest mike_XP_Vista Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 Thanks very much, let me give that a try... and yes, you're right, I actually did say "ALL" originally but then realized I might actually like to use it as the admin (!)
