Hello

I would like to have all members of my domian NOT be able to run an executable that is named setup.exe or install.exe. I have seen the great M$ article on how to use hash's, paths and so on to deny certain file names from being executed but have not had the kind of success I am looking for

Is it possible to set it up so that ANY file named "install.exe" or "setup.exe" will not run no matter where it is on the PC? Is there a way to do it that is different than an absolute path or a hash

Thanks

The hash and path rules do not apply to W2K computers. You could use Group Policy to
restrict those as described in KB link below, however a user may be able to bypass
that restriction by renaming the file. --- Steve
