It seems that at least with with WXP Pro you can restrict automatic running of programs listed in some registry keys. Perhaps these settings works also with W2k or WinNT.
Locate registry branch "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\policies\Explorer".
Add following REG_DWORD settings with value 1 to disable specific registry key:
- DisableCurrentUserRun
- DisableCurrentUserRunOnce
- DisableLocalMachineRun
- DisableLocalMachineRunOnce
Normal users doesn't need these, but perhaps they are useful for some special cases.
