using GPO to prevent installations

[Guest]

I want to keep people from installing *.exe on my network using
GPO. Where is the location of this option in the GPO?

Thanks

You can use Software Restrictions Policies to do this, but they are only
available for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

You can use the software restriction policy in the GPO -you can found this
in the "security Settings" in the GPO.
you can use the Path rule and restrict all the .exe files.

A path rule would be useless here as you would need to enter the path to all
the .exe files in your domain. Maybe a File Type rule would help.
