Windows XP: Blocking Download .exe files
Blocking Download .exe files
by Lynch68 - 12/19/04 10:01 AMIs there a way to block users from downloading program files or blocking installing program files with XP? Ex. teenager shares computer and downloads Kazaa / AIM / when told not to.
Change their account to a LIMITED user.

"Limited account
The limited account is intended for someone who should be prohibited from changing most computer settings and deleting important files. A user with a limited account:
•
Cannot install software or hardware, but can access programs that have already been installed on the computer.
•
Can change his or her account picture and can also create, change, or delete his or her password.
•
Cannot change his or her account name or account type. A user with a computer administrator account must make these kinds of changes. "
Since they are behaving irresponsibly and putting your machine at risk (Kazaa = bad!), then they get the clamps put on.
Not much will work, and not much will be allowed!
