How do I prevent users from downloading files from the Internet?

An easy solution exists, provided that the system uses Internet Explorer as its only browser. You can prevent other browsers from being installed or running on the system by implementing the feature within Tweaki entitled, "Run only allowed Windows applications". Open Internet Explorer and select Tools | Internet Options. Then select the Security tab. Highlight the Internet icon. Then select the Custom Level button. Scroll down until you find the option for Downloads. Select the choice labeled "Disable". Close all the dialogs and exit Explorer. Now load Tweaki. Select the Security | Internet Explorer tab. Under "Internet Explorer Security Zones" place a check in the box next to "Internet". Close Tweaki --your all done! The ability to download via Internet Explorer (HTTP) is now disabled.
