Blocking Employees from surfing the net

GJMorrow · 07-15-2004, 09:57 AM

Andy,

Hello . . . can you tell me how to accomplish this?

ALOHATANCA · 07-15-2004, 01:02 PM

simple, don't give them your code!!!!!!!!!!!!

Assuming XP Professional and Helios V11

First create a Limited Account for staff you use ... this has MANY advantages not just this one ... ie ... can not change System Date.

In order for Limited Account to work with Helios V11 you have to do two things:

1. in REGEDIT ... HKEY Local Machince ... Software ... Helios ... right click ... Permissions ... ADD ... Everyone with Full Control

2. with Simple Sharing TURNED OFF ... in Sharing and Security ... Security ... ADD ... Everyone ... Full Control

Temporarily make the Limited User an Administrator ... remove all references to Internet Explorer ... then return the User to Limited account type.

Activity Internet Security within your Brower ... requiring a Password for any site that is not a "Trusted" site. I will get the step by step instructions from someone that know more than I about actually doing this ... and post more later.

coconut ... the trick is in setting it up so it is a simple password ... do you have the step by step instructions for doing so.

COCONUT · 07-15-2004, 02:55 PM

i had a client actually do something so that no one but me could get on....we kept getting viruses through the girls opening up stuff through their emails...so i fixed their tiny hiney's.....now its just ME!! I have no clue as to how he had done it but he did..he is a computer wiz...we have sunease as our program....i do have a password i think it is more technical then that though

Thru our local internet provider we have to enter a password to get on the net. I just uncheck the box to 'save password' & uncheck 'allow anyone to use'. No one but me knows the password!

FYI ... Cutting Edge ... an employee that has an Internet account at home could use that account and password ... dial into there ISP and they would be on the Internet using their account on your computer at the salon.

COCONUT · 07-16-2004, 10:00 AM

i actually thought the same thing only" i know the password"!!!! WRONG..the girls still got on!!..the guy fixed it so that the girls think they could get on everything still is the same but when it comes down to getting on they can not...the best part of it..................it only cost be a package for him and his wife..
