How to 'delete' Internet Explorer and block Firefox?
rarely_upset:
Disable is somewhat different from remove; if you had removed it I imagine the programs that forced it open would have gone berserk.
Or stopped responding. Almost the same thing.
Bob2004:
Most firewalls should be able to implement some kind of whitelist. COMODO Internet Security, for example, which is what I use, allows you to set custom rules - so you just create a rule saying "block all access from [any] to [any]", and then add new rules saying "allow access from [this pc] to [whatever website]". One for each hostname. You can password-protect the settings too, to make sure nobody else changes it.
It's a bit cumbersome (at least in COMODO), so I wouldn't advise it if you want lots of sites on your whitelist. But it is fairly simple, and if you have a decent firewall installed, should be possible without needing any extra software.

Freedom Kira:
It would probably be better to blacklist sites instead. That way, you can still keep him off whatever sites you blacklist, but he won't have to bug you to add a new site to the whitelist every time he discovers a new page that he wants to visit.
Not to mention you probably want to allow a lot more sites than you want to disallow...
Pentium100:
To disable IE, do this (instructions based on Windows XP):
1. Start Group Policy editor (start->run->gpedit.msc)
2. Go to user configuration->Windows settings-> Internet Explorer Maintenance ->Connection
3. Doubleclick on Proxy Settings, check "Enable proxy settings", enter 0.0.0.0 as the proxy server IP.
4. Uncheck "Do not use proxy server for local (intranet) addresses".
5. Click OK, go to User configuration->Administrative templates->Windows Components->Internet Explorer.
6. Doubleclick on "Disable changing proxy settings", select "Enabled" (that's right, you are enabling the disabling), click OK.
IE will start, but wil be unable to go to any site, because proxy at 0.0.0.0 does not exist :).
