If you're using a hash rule, it doesn't matter where the exe runs from--it will
be restricted. However, keep in mind that any time sol.exe changes (e.g. if its
updated from SP to SP), you would need a new rule for it to reflect the updated
hash.

Will it still be restricted if they move the game to another folder or
try to run it from a USB ?
They have applied the software restriction policies as path rules.
Would this also stop them running the executables from a pen drive or
another folder?
Or does this block them from running regardless of where the exe resides..?
OR is there some sort of wildcard *.sol.exe for example...
