We have Ranger, which can limit drive access, but doesn't seem to have the facility to disable network browsing. Is it possible with a GPO? Last edited 19th April at PM. Annoyingly though this hasn't disabled "Network" in Explorer, and I can still browse it.
Ho hum. Apply this ADM template as it will hide the Network and other 'items'. Disable Libraries. That doesn't seem to work either, sadly. I disabled the relevant items, and still no change after a reboot.
Disable all network connections. Wait for it to load, then click Device Manager in the left-hand frame. Open the Network Adapters subtree, right-click all devices listed there, and select Disable. Now restart for good measure this is optional.
To undo this, simply repeat the process but instead of selecting Disable, select Enable. Consider using parental control software.
You can also disable access to the Internet using third-party parental control software. These programs allow you to limit the sites that a computer can access, and they also allow you to completely block a computer from using the Internet. You need to install the software directly to the computer in question. You may need to pay a small user fee, depending on the program, but you will be able to rest assured that your child is not using the Internet in a way that you haven't approved. On Apple OS X, you can configure the built-in parental controls to disable access to the internet for certain accounts.
Method 3. Uncheck "Automatically detect settings". Then, check "Use proxy server" and put settings in for a proxy server that doesn't exist. This will time out the Web browser each time a user tries to pull up an Internet site. Understand that this method is not fail-proof. A savvy user could go into the settings and fix this. Method 4.

Perhaps you want to get some work done offline, but you don't want to completely isolate yourself from the possibility of using the Internet. You can usually choose to disable all sites or just certain sites. Try using the Toggle Internet script. This little script will allow you to completely disable the Internet on your Windows computer with a click. You can restore the Internet connection anytime later with another click. To get started, download Toggle-Internet. Toggle your Internet.
Right click on the Toggle desktop icon. Later, when you need to reconnect, just right-click the same file and run as an administrator as before. Internally, the script merely toggles the status of your Network Adapter also known as the LAN adapter or Ethernet card thus shutting down the Internet for you.
Try using Let Me Work. Toggle Internet will temporarily block all sites, but you may wish to disable access to just a select groups of distracting websites while staying connected to Google Docs or your email. Download the Let Me Work script. You can specify the list of sites that should be blocked and this script will modify the Windows HOSTS file to shut them off, temporarily.
It depends on how advanced with technology you are though. If you know what Inside there, you can find the device and add the device to the MAC Address blocking list. This will block all access to the internet. They can connect, but it won't let them use it at all. Whether that is available or not depends on your router, but anything fairly new should do the job.
