Summary: Windows explorer bypasses proxy settigns

Initial Comment:
I have implemented privoxy in a lab setting with
multiple users logging in.  It blocks everything I want
and works fine, but I recently discovered a way to
completely bypass Privoxy, or any proxy settings (it
seems) for that matter.  When I enter a url into
windows explorer (not IE), I am able to bypass any
proxy settings.  My first thought was to completely
disable browsing from windows explorer, but I don't
think thats possible.  This seems to be more of a
Microsoft issue, but I thought someone might have some
advice.  Thanks.

Use a packet filter to make it impossible to leave
the network without using Privoxy.
