Remove games from search field

[Wayne Marston]

Hello, how do you stop users from going into the search button and typing in
sol.exe and finding the games after you have taken them off the desktop. I
tried to delete them from Winnt folder but they keep reinstalling themself.

When files magically reappear like that, you also
need to delete them from \winnt\system32\dllcache.

In your case, however, you would probably be as
equally well served by just removing all non-admin
permissions to the file.
