How to Change Internet Options for All Users
Making a shared computer safer is one powerfully good reason to change Internet "Options" for all users. Another convincing reason to do so is that your operating system will be at a greater risk for unreliability off the net if a user unwittingly downloads tracking cookies, spy-ware or other harmful viruses. Everyone--including you--will be affected if this happens. Luckily, there is an effortless way for you to set Internet "Options" for all users without having to change each account separately.
