[charly]

Hi,
Im trying to create an application that will distribute privileges
(i.e.disable 'Start' or 'Run') to computers on a network!! I have
created an application that does this to my own computer but now i want
to extend it to a network. Is there any easy way??? Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks

There are several ways of doing this. It (normaly) wouldn't be done via
an application. You can push a .reg file with the changes to the
workstations or you can do it with scripts.

Of course that doesn't mean that it can't be done via an application, it
just seems easier to me to push the .reg file.

That is exactly what Group Policies do. And in a "network" (at least
in a MS Domain) such "global" policies can be applied from a central
location. Am I covering ground with which you are already aware and
misunderstanding your project?

Otherwise try "Group Policies" search at MS or even Google and perhaps

Since you say "application" try "PSexec" from
