A. If you use NTFS, you can use the file system's built-in permissions to restrict access to the Internet Options or Internet Tools Control Panel applet by performing the following steps:
- Start Windows Explorer.
- Navigate to \%systemroot%\system32 (e.g., c:\windows\system32).
- Right-click inetcpl.cpl and select Properties from the context menu.
- Select the Security tab.
- Adjust the user and group permissions as appropriate, and ensure that the SYSTEM group has Full Control.
You can also use the standard command-line permissions utility Cacls.exe to set these permissions. However, be aware that when you use either method to restrict access, another administrator will have a difficult time determining the permissions you've set. Therefore, using policies is the preferred method for restricting access.
