Thanks Jim. I am still running 2000 on my servers. But the FAQs article looks
promising.

If you are running a Windows 2003 Server you can set software policies:

winxppro/maintain/rstrplcy.asp
<http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol
/winxppro/maintain/rstrplcy.asp>
There is an FAQ on thethin.net on this also that suggests a codebase key in the
registry to block that I found:

There is an inexpensive program called Vizioncore VCI control that was also
written for this

That will block the site, but how do I set up my Citrix servers so that the
users can't install software, yet have the level of access they need to Program
Files?
I always thought that basic users couldn't install software.

Point all of the yahoo messenger servers to 127.0.0.1 in your hosts file or
dns.

I just found Yahoo messenger on one of my Citrix servers. I thought that I had
the server locked down tight enough that users couldn't install their own
software. None of my users have any elevated rights. They are not power
users. It looks like one user loaded the software, and then another was able
to access it. What is the best way to lock this down so that my users can't
install any software? Do I need to remove the Creator Owner setting from the
ACL for the Program Files folder to keep users from installing software? How
are others preventing the loading of software by users?
I install the software that I want loaded, and I install as an administrator.
