Does anyone know how (I am infinitely confident that lots of you do!) 
to prevent the use of the file:// command for displaying (and 
running) local files from within the browser?

I'm using Ikiosk and a restrictive user policy to provide security 
but haven't been successful in closing this door.

Also, as long as I'm here, how are you preventing downloading to the 
local hard drive.

Anybody trying to limit chat and email?

If you'd like to respond to me directly, I will be pleased to 
summarize for the group.

Thanks.
