Hi Jim

You caught me on my first real lunch break in over 6 months. So I tapped up 
this little program to help solve your issue:

CANTTOUCHTHIS.EXE

Download it from http://www.ctrl-alt-del.com.au/CAD_GUtils.htm

CantTouchthis is a standalone Windows GUI executable designed to replace 
existing executable files that an administrator does not want a user to run. 
The idea of the program is to simply replace an existing executable with this 
program to restrict a user making any calls to an existing program which may be 
restricted to the user base. Instead of the original program, CantTouchThis 
will show a popup dialog box on the screen that will informa the user that the 
application is not available.  


This application has been tested on the following platforms:

Windows 7 Professional
Windows 2008 Server
Windows 2003 Server SP1
Windows 2003 Server SP1 w/ Citrix PS 4.0 Windows 2003  Server SP1 (Terminal 
Server Application Mode) Windows 2000  Server SP4 Windows 2000  Server SP4 w/ 
Citrix MF XP Windows 2000  Server SP4 (Terminal Server Application Mode) 
Windows 2000  Server SP4 w/ Citrix MF 1.8 Windows XP Professional (domain 
member) 

This utility is FREEWARE and was written by Warren Simondson of Ctrl-Alt-Del IT 
Consultancy, Australia. www.ctrl-alt-del.com.au

The freeware version is offered AS IS. Ctrl-Alt-Del IT Consultancy has made 
every effort possible to ensure that CantTouchThis is free of any bugs or
