Group Policy on Protecting Certain File Types

[David]

I would like to block users from accessing certain file types on a windows
2000 domain with windows 2000 workstation clients. Is there a group policy
where I could block certain groups from accessing files such as .zip or
..jpg? (not really these file types just an example)

No.

The Computer Configuration / Windows Settings / Security Settings / File System policy
can address specific files or folders only.

Thanks for the response. Is this the only policy where I can lock out file
types?
