[WEB4LIB] PWB, SetBrowser, and IE

[Vermeersch, Scott M.]

TeamSoftware Solutions has posted a free Browser Helper Object called "ManageIE" on the download page that will close down Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer when a HTTP server is accessed. This DLL prevents IE from running even when a URL is typed into a Word document.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] PWB, SetBrowser, and IE


We are using Public Web Browser and IE 5.5 SP2 on Windows 2000 machines. However, we've been seeing that patrons can get out of PWB and into straight IE. We now use the SetBrowser utility, but patrons still get around that. Someone from another listserv recommended removing or renaming the iexplore.exe file (works in Win 9.x), but in W2k the file simply reappears/replicates itself no matter what I do. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
