How to lock history from user

[Ron]

Our company president would like to keep tabs on employees surfing habits
while at work.
In the past, we've used a logging program to keep track of sites visited.
Once we installed our newest antivirus program, it kept hitting on the
program as spyware (which it is). Even after telling the AV to ignore those
files, the hits and problems kept returning until we finally decided to give
up on the logger.
Now, we want to keep tabs on the IE history again. Is there a way where
policy can be set to prevent all but administrators from deleting Internet
Explorer history files or changing the number of days history is tracked?
All computers are running XP with IE-7.

Thanks,

R

Hey Ron,

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control
Panel]
"History"=dword:00000001

Change the dword from 01 to 00000000 and that should do the trick.
