Prevent user from cleaning history file

Tags: Microsoft, Internet Explorer, v7, History file
I have a user that I continually have problems with his PC.  I have a Group Policy on my domain that prevents users from being able to delete their internet history, but this guy has a program called "Tracks Eraser" that still clears this file as well as the index.dat file.  Is there any type of method that coudl be used to either have it send copies of the history to a different location or prevent Tracks Eraser from clearing this information?

The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Comment by fibo
Thx for the points
>>I have taken this factual proof of his activities, shown it to him and demanded that it be stopped.  Thanks to everyone who contributed.

My 2 cents of advice:
Be careful there. Whether this guy knew perfectly or not what he was doing, it would be wise to assume he did not and then discuss with him along the lines:
- what you did unknowingly was bad, and it is fine that it has stopped.
- now, how to you think we should change in our written policies and in user education so that people understand where the problem lies and why it is a no-no

You will make an ally from him, while presently he might have a bad feeling that will come back to you at some later time. And it will prove your ability to understand and manage corporate management issues.

Not sure why fibo got the points here, everything he said in his post I said earlier trying to figure what he said differently.  A little insight JamesMarine?
