Tom- That's probably going to slow them down. The intrepid user will get around these easily but that's a "Layer 8" issue. You might also consider using Software Restriction Policy for those apps rather than the "Don't run specified Windows applications" policy. It's a little more bomb-proof and if you create hash rules for those exes, renaming won't help them-they'll still not run.

Here are the changes that I'm going to start with: Keys: \User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Start Menu and Taskbar\Remove Drag-and-drop context menus on the Start Menu \User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Restrict these programs from being launched from help \User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Don't run specified Windows applications \User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Prevent access to the command prompt \User Configuration\Start Menu and Taskbar\Remove Run from the Start Menu Restricted Program List: winmine.exe spider.exe sol.exe freecell.exe mshearts.exe bckgzm.exe chkrzm.exe hrtzzm.exe rvsezm.exe shvlzm.exe pinball.exe This should only leave the opening of browsing the hard disk drive and renaming sol.exe to something else. I figure if they're that desperate to game, their going to get caught anyway. Have I missed anything that you can think of? Thanks, Tom Clover Desktop Support Specialist
