You would still have to be able to reliably detect which applications are browsers and which aren't. You are still aiming at the wrong target. It's not the browser, it's the site.

A proxy server, as Dave Kreskowiak said yesterday. I know of no other reliable solution. I just wouldn't try; it's not a worthwhile goal.

Hi, Using proxy settings i can disable internet connections only right ??. But my requirement is stop booting IE exe file or any other browser exe file. If i click IE shortcut to lunch IE it should popup a message like restricted browsers. Can you help me out from this....

How many times does this have to be said: "There is no way to know which programs are browsers and thus to prevent them from opening". Even if you have a service that recognises IE, FF, Chrome, Opera etc, the user can merely rename his browser or install one whose name you do not know.

It's time for a new signature.

You can filter out any sites you want, yes.

This is not a valid, or practical, goal at all. You're still enumerating browsers, which you cannot do reliably.

Why? Who requires it? What is the desired outcome?
