Can Defender block acces to a program? I want to block kid's access to IE7,
and in my old XP computer I could do that with ZoneAlarm Pro. Since I just
got a new Vista, I am trying to use all the Vista stuff that's built in,
rather than going to another solution.

Thanks,
Mike

You want someone to stop using a program, then you go to Vista's security
using NTFS security and stop the user by user ID from executing the
program., just like you should have done on the XP O/S. ZA was not the
solution for this even on XP.
 
Could you give me a pointer on how to get started doing that? I have the new
computer now, Vista Ultimate, and using Windows Firewall. I'd still like to
block IE7 access by all users, all accounts (admin and standard).

Thank you,
Mike
 
Works well! Is there anyway to block it for just one standard user accout?
That method works very well but removes IE7 for all users.

You use Explore, you find the iexplore.exe, you right-click it, you go to
Properties, to the Security Tab, and you set by user account who can do what
permissions with the file/program.
 
Thanks very much, let me give that a try... and yes, you're right, I actually
did say "ALL" originally but then realized I might actually like to use it as
the admin (!)

Yup, you're right! Thanks to your replies, I have the solution I needed,
though, thanks very much!
