prevent explorer.exe from launching internet explorer

  • 772

In a Windows Terminal Server (2003 R2) where the users are not allowed to run a remote desktop, but just the applications they want (that's Citrix work), i've published "Explorer.exe" for the users to get their files. How can i prevent Explorer.exe to launch Internet Explorer when a user writes an url in the address bar instead of a local file path?

  1. explorer.exe is silently calling iexplore.exe in the background for this. Don't allow these users to launch iexplore.exe through Software Restrictions (or any other way really) and it should do the trick.
