I've used "Run only allowed windows apps" and AppSec many times. This
combination can give you true control over what apps a user can run. Be
aware that the list of apps referenced in the URL is not required. For
example, USRLOGON.CMD isn't required for USRLOGON.CMD to run during login.
Also, when you first run AppSec, it has a list of apps already loaded. I
normally delete them all and start adding only the application executables
that I need. I normally add CTXLOAD.EXE as well, but that's only because it
was required to fix a failure of the clipboard mapping mechanism the first
time I tried using AppSec. Of course, you have to add the names of any
executables referenced during login, but that would only be if you were
using Kix or VB login scripts, for example.

By the way when using appsec use the dos name for specifying file location
if you have problems.

Use appsec.exe and see http://thethin.net/archive3.cfm?id=81940 for a list.

Hello all,
I am an admin in a school division and anyone else can attest to that comes
with a whole bunch of users (high school) playing all sorts of games trying
to congest the network to the point of choking. Anyway enough griping, has
anyone gotten the GPO setting that only allows certain Windows exe's to run
working? I am trying to only allow them to run what is necessary to run for
educational purposes, I can make the list myself (of course if someone has a
basic list to start I'd take it :-)). If not a GPO does anyone have any
other ideas as to how to do this? TIA
