When I was working for one of the largest German financial companies we had some very strict rules at work like having to lock the computer whenever we went away from the computer desk. This was naturally forgotten sometimes and could result in some severe problems for the person who forgot to lock the desktop.
While Internet Explorer Privacy Manager would not have helped with that problem it does help in work environments where other users should not be able to access or see the websites that are opened. The software will install a Browser Helper Object in Internet Explorer that can be configured to either make the Internet Explorer web browser revert to the default home page or make the Internet Explorer browser to close after a certain time.
The time that it takes before the desired option will be applied can be configured in minutes by the user. The default time is set to five minutes and the default action is to go back to the default page of Internet Explorer.
The Internet Explorer Privacy Manager itself is a portable software program for the Windows operating system. It should work with most versions of Internet Explorer. The developers do not provide information about supported operating systems and Internet Explorer versions though.
The software can be downloaded directly from the developer’s homepage.
