Hello everyone,

Is there a policy to prevent games on a Windows 2000 box.
i.e. solitaire and minesweeper? We are on a NT4.0 domain
so the policies would have to be local. I know I can use
the add remove option but our users can re-install them.
Any ideas??

Locate the file SYSOC.INF in C:\winnt\inf.

Remove the keyword HIDE from the following lines:

Games=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,games.inf,HIDE,7
Pinball=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,pinball.inf,HIDE,7

Now they should show up in the Add/Remove applet. In
terms of policies, I believe you are right, there is no
way of enforcing rights locally without also restricting
the administrator and I think that is done with AD as you
said.
