Just wondering if it possible to use GPO (Windows 2003 network) to close Internet Explorer down if it is idle for a set period of time.<br />
<br />
At my firm (I am IT Manager) we use a web filtering tool that reports on users internet usage. Something that keeps coming up is when users are listed on the report as spending all day on the web (in some cases more than their contractual hours) they are claiming that they have left IE open but not using it.<br />
<br />
Just wondering if it possible to use GPO to get IE to close after a set period of idle time?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
