That sure sounds like a stop gap.  There isn't much info on wmpmini.exe =
anywhere that we can find.

Thanks

Not quite what you ask for.

But you can make a GPO in wich you define apps allowed to run, or apps =
=3D
not allowed to run. In 2000 this only works on filenames, so if the user =
=3D
changes the name of the file, it wont work.

All,

We've got an issue that we don't know how to resolve.  One of our users =
=3D
=3D3D
attempted to download wmpmini.exe from Microsoft and by running it, =
=3D3D
brought the server down.  It locked up and had to be manually rebooted.  =
=3D
=3D3D
We verified this with a couple of test boxes.  We're running W2K SP3 MF =
=3D
=3D3D
FR2 and FR3 (different servers). =3D3D20

Any ideas on how to completely stop this specific download, or a way to =
=3D
=3D3D
handle a unique downloaded file?  Besides beating the user up...

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Bill
