Shane -
One thing you can try is to have them enable Software Restriction Policy 
logging on their client machines. That will create a log that will show 
whenever an execution passes or fails a rule, and which rule was involved. Its 
hard to say why those are not getting blocked but my suspicions are that the 
rule in use may not be capturing the right thing.

Darren/All,
After further testing by my client, he states that all files are placed in the 
Designated File Types area and that: MP3, AVI, WAV, WMA, ZIP, PDF
file types are not getting blocked. Other files types (i.e. DOCX, CSV, DOC, 
TXT, etc) are getting blocked. Hmmm..not sure why that is...any other 
suggestions?

Thanks.

Shane-
You could try adding those file types to the Designated File Types area in that 
policy. I haven't tested them specifically but I don't see why they shouldn't 
work. Can you test and let us know?

All,
Does the software restriction policy work with Windows Media files? I have a 
user who set this policy up and all seems to work except for these file types 
(i.e. WMA, WMV, MP3, etc)/
