In Part 1 and Part 2, I described security zones and settings in Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 5.0. In Part 3, I showed you the IE security settings that control cookies and file downloads. In Part 4, I'll show you how to securely set IE's Java permissions and describe some of the settings under the Miscellaneous group of security settings.
Microsoft VM
To access IE's security options, open IE, go to the Tools menu and select Internet Options, and select the Security tab. Click the zone you want to configure, and click Custom Level to display the Security Settings dialog box. Scroll to Microsoft VM, as Figure 1 shows. Microsoft VM lets you set the security levels to control any Java applets your users encounter on Web sites in each zone. Although you can specify a custom level, I don’t recommend using Custom Level for Java permissions in most cases because Java security is very granular; you really need to be a Java programmer to understand Java permissions. . . .

We need to stop users from downloading files from the internet. We use Windows server 2003. Is there a particular policy setting that will do it?
Thanks!
