I've been tasked with the following project...

Provide access for partner company personnel to a LOB app and our
intranet via a terminal server session [1]. The IE session should allow
access to the intranet site and nothing else, no internet, no local
machine, no customization.

Plan is to create a VM with the appropriate restricted desktop access
and the LOB app. That part's ok; however, I'm having trouble finding
good info on securing IE so that it can only get to our intranet. 
I can set a non-existent proxy and add our intranet to the proxy bypass
sites; that's easy enough.

What I can't remember is how to lock down IE so no one can type "c:\" or
some other folder name and get to the local file system. I tried the
NoFileURL setting under
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer, but
it's not restricting the test user.
Anyone remember a good way to prevent local file system access through
IE?

A good ADM file that chokes IE to the bone would be nice, too, but I
haven't found one of those lately either.

My Google Mojo isn't working today...

Thanks!

[1] I know; running IE on a server is bad juju. That's why it's going to
be in a snapshotted VM I can wipe daily. :-) You don't want to know how
ugly the other alternatives were...
