That particular issue is easy to address John. You also have to have the
Office Viewers installed on your servers, but then explicitly set the file
associations on a per user basis so that .xls files would be associated
with the Excel Viewer instead of the fully blown version of Excel. This is
what we do when Customers only have a certain number of Office licenses
compared to Citrix users. Jeff Durbin from this list has written a very
nice little VBScript that sets the file associations at login based on
group membership. And of course remember to install the Office Viewers
before you install Office, otherwise everything will default to the
viewers.

Then I would publish out each application icon to one group.

The problem lies if someone receives an Excel attachment in Outlook for
example, if they dont have access to Excel then it would still open when
they clicked it.  This could be controlled via NTFS permissions on
excel.exe.

 that will work unless a user has explicit access or is a member of another

 is much that can be done other then setting the rights on the .exe

       Dont give that user group access to the published app and they wont
       get the icon to run it.  If you want to secure it further you can
       modify the permissions on the executable so its the same as the
       published app.
