Disable File or Save AS in Internet Explorer 6

Asked By mvhatespa

Is there a way using .net code/HTML/JAVA etc. to disable the users basic menu
in IE6 File, Edit, View during opening of WEB page.  It seems that someone
could select File/Save As and have access to drives/directories they are not
suppose to
have access to, not sure why security is not set to disallow access but can
it be done?

Mike,Having a file | Save as won't give them access to any remote resources.

Mike,
Having a file | Save as won't give them access to any remote resources. It
will let them save what's been rendered, but not much else. For example,
they can do a Save as mht to save a web page as an archive (useful when
trying to record an online payment just made to the electric company) but it
won't save things in it like the flash animation or other embedded
resources. Keep in mind, these files are already downloaded on their machine
anyways and that's mostly where the data is coming from.

The only time you can get rid of some of the menus is when you open a page
into a new browser window using javascript. This will mostly just annoy
users though as they like to view web sites in their browser as they want
it, not in a newly spawned popup just to view the entire site.

Thanks Mark, someone came up with something called Steady State that looks
like it will do what they want, a Microsoft utility/?  The WEB is coming up
on a KIOSK, I found out later, it's OK if they use their own system and save.
Just not try to Save As on the KIOSK computer.
