Once again, the answer to this situation might be found in a metering
software package.  Some of these will allow you to monitor applications,
allow and deny lists of users, and keep your licensing straight.  Check
out Express Metrix metering software.  It might work for you.

Subject: [THIN] Restricting Access to apps within published apps


Hi,

We publish Windows Explorer to our users. The problem lies where these
users browse to a word document (for example) and double click it to
launch it. This launches word application (if it is installed on the
same server that we publish explorer from). This happens if we whether
the user has access to MS Word through citrix or not. According to
Citrix Word is part of the initial Windows Explorer session.=20

How can I stop users doing this?=20

I want the users that have access to Word to be allowed to open it, and
those that don't to be denyed.

Any Ideas? Is this possible?

Thanks in Advance,
Thomas
