Hi all,
I have terminal servers in a win2k domain, how do I
prevent users from installing yahoo messenger or other
stupid internet downloadable applications?

You might try to configure your Web Content Zones to disable downloads and generally
harden settings, perhaps just allowing downloads in trusted sites. There is also a
setting in Group Policy that may help prevent some installing of unauthorized
programs. Try adding setup.exe and install.exe also keeping in mind that users that
can rename an executable will be able to bypass the restrictions. Windows XP pro has
addressed the problem with Software Restriction Policies if the budget allows a
couple copies to check out. --- Steve
