[THIN] Re: wmpmini.exe brings down the box...

can you not filter it on a proxy? or, seeing as its a MS program, it likely=
 expands itself, then runs out of the TEMP folder - does removing execute p=
ermissions on this folder stop that?

All,

We've got an issue that we don't know how to resolve.  One of our users =3D
attempted to download wmpmini.exe from Microsoft and by running it, =3D
brought the server down.  It locked up and had to be manually rebooted.  =3D
We verified this with a couple of test boxes.  We're running W2K SP3 MF =3D
FR2 and FR3 (different servers). =3D20

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

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Bill
