I'm a Mac convert, and while I used Windows lots before switching over, I'm far from an expert with the OS. However, I've been tasked with the job of setting up a Windows box at work for staff to use in a retail environment. No Macs, since our dedicated and necessary software only runs on Windows. I know we could could run a Mac with Parallels or whatever, but that's far too much headache and cost, so a Windows box it is. :/
Long story short: I need to be able to setup this machine so that staff can access only approved functions and, more importantly, approved websites. We don't people using this machine to check their email and whatnot, so essentially what I need is to setup the machine with a list of websites you can navigate to, but any other website will be blocked.
I also need to able to lock down all the computer's functions, most of which should be handled by simply making the users a non-Administrator account, but is there a way to prevent them getting into the Control Panel at all?
Thanks!
