If you use a software restriction policy, renaming of sol.exe will not
help them. If you use the Hash Value as the method of blocking the
software then no matter what the file is named it will be restricted.

Subject: [gptalk] Gaming Restrictions
I've been asked to restrict gaming at work. 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,
