Hello..

I've read somewhere here that you can restrict end-users
from launching programs like msn/aol instant messanger.

Would anyone care to explain to me how this process can
be done, or show me a link to more information?

Thanx!
 
Is there an article on how to do in on a Windows 2000
environment?

STeven, unfortunately, Windows 2000 don't process software restriction
policies, they ignore them:

From an article:
Mixed Domain Deployments
It is possible to use software restriction policies in a mixed-mode
deployment. That is, you do not have to upgrade your Windows 2000 domain
controllers to take advantage of software restriction policies. You can use
a Windows XP Professional computer to edit the Group Policy object and
configure your software restriction policy. Windows XP and Windows Server
2003 computers that download the GPO will enforce the software restriction
policy. Computers running Windows 2000 will ignore the settings.
