Holy Grail of browser security found; news at 11

While browsing the Microsoft support database in search of information about
the conflict between IE 5.01 and the NoRun function (anyone solved that yet?),
I came across "Complete List of Internet Explorer 5.01 Restrictions" at

<http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q245/4/27.asp>

I've seen some of this before at jsiinc.com and ntfaq.com, but a lot of this is
new, including <drool> the ability to disable the History button. </drool>

You may disable toolbar customization, and there is even SpecifyDefaultButtons,
although they don't say exactly what format you should use to do that.

That's a handy thing, because you may simply want to remove a button without
disabling its function.  E.g., many of us remove the print button because it
doesn't present a dialog box, but leave the menu item active.

Hope this helps someone out there!
