I'm open to other ideas too from anyone - the situation in a nutshell is an orgranization I support needs to migrate away from IE. (The users really can't handle the spyware and such, no matter how hard I try to educate and prevent.) The only thing holding them back from switching is a proprietary ActiveX application that they use to interface with their data warehouse.
I would try to lock down IE and limit access to localhost and the data warehouse host by setting the proxy to 127.0.0.1:9 except for localhost and the data warehouse host. These settings can be enforced through group policies or local policies (if you don't have a Windows 200[03] domain controller at hand). That way they could use IE for the data warehousing application, but not for surfing the web.
