just remove them for users, not admins..? :)
(i'd hope admins know not to play with things like WMP ;) )

Removing execute permissions may work in the short term, but there are =

can you not filter it on a proxy? or, seeing as its a MS program, it =
=3D3D
likely=3D3D3D
expands itself, then runs out of the TEMP folder - does removing =3D3D
execute p=3D3D3D
ermissions on this folder stop that?

All,
We've got an issue that we don't know how to resolve. One of our users =
=3D3D
=3D3D3D3D
attempted to download wmpmini.exe from Microsoft and by running it, =
=3D3D
=3D3D3D3D
brought the server down. It locked up and had to be manually rebooted. =
=3D3D
=3D3D3D3D
We verified this with a couple of test boxes. We're running W2K SP3 MF =
=3D3D
=3D3D3D3D
FR2 and FR3 (different servers). =3D3D3D3D20
Any ideas on how to completely stop this specific download, or a way to =
=3D3D
=3D3D3D3D
handle a unique downloaded file? Besides beating the user up...
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Bill
