Group Policy

[Guest]

Is there a way on an individual pc running win xp to use group policy to keep
people from downloading certain files, such as exe. Also, can I keep people
from installing any executables using group policy. I would like to keep
people from accidentaly downloading and installing toolbars, weather apps,
and junk like that. I have also tried to use group policy to keep people from
loading software using removable media, but after enabling that setting in
group policy, I could still install from the cd-rom. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks

Windows 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 Group Policies by policy name
Number of policies in database: 844

Policies open in a new window and have registry references.

also what works is using a program called deepfreeze it has it so that
u save files in whats called the "thawspace" thats so every one can run
but it won't make any permanant chages to the windows you are using.

ex.
lets say you have 1 hard drive C:/

so you use windows disk management tool and steal Mb's from C:/ to
make a new drive called for name sake D:/

with me so far

ok you use the deepfreeze program and freeze C:/ and the thawedspace
is D:/ so people would have to save .doc, mp3 ... whatever files to
the D:/

they would be there so that you could look at them whenever evan after
the computer shuts down.

but at the same time if i saved an exe to the thawedspace D:/ and
lets say winzip ok

so the file name is winzip.exe i install or try to anyway it installs
and can be used for as long as the computer stays on but when the
computer shuts off winzip isn't installed

however this is version 3 that i am discribing but i found out the
password so that i could install what i wanted when i wanted

but version 5 wont even let the program install in the first place and
you can't crack this program yet. version 3 has it passwords stored in
a files encrypted but version 5 is all MD5 hashed so it is secured and
if they try to kill the process it regenerates not even booting safe
mode can stop it
