How can I use the registry to restrict access to the Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) configuration tabs?

Start a registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).

Navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoft registry subkey.

If the Internet Explorer subkey doesn't exist, create it (from the Edit menu, select New, Key and type "Internet Explorer" without the quotes) and navigate to that subkey.

Under the Internet Explorer subkey, create a subkey called Control Panel, then navigate to that subkey.

From the Edit menu, select New, DWORD Value, and create the first value (i.e., GeneralTab) from the table below. Press Enter.

Double-click the created value, set it to 1 to disable the specified tab, then Click OK.

Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each value in the table below.

Close the registry editor.
