disabling apps

[Technoir]

Greetings. I'm looking for a way to disable User-class users from running internet proggies during work hours. THey need LAN access, but not internet. I want to disable/block the use of things like IE, MSN Messenger, WinAmp, Windows Media Player, etc....

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Technoir aka Rob D.

Hi,

this key prevents Windows from running the programs represented by entries in the DisallowRun subkey.

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\Explorer

name:DisallowRun
type:REG_DWORD
value:1

The DisallowRun subkey contains a list of Windows programs that users cannot run. This list is used only when the value of the DisallowRun entry is 1.

The entries of the subkey have the following format. All entries must include the file name extension of the file.
name:Item-number
type:REG_SZ
value:Name of executable file

for example:
name:1
type:REG_SZ
value:Winword.exe

best
Karin
