I saw this feature in the default domain GPO, had a quick look at
it, and thought it might be useful at our dept in stopping users
from installing programs. Can this policy be set only to apply to
certain OUs, as with other GPOs?

What does it actually do? Changing the browse/list ntfs perm's for
the selected user or group?

Any problems that *may* potentially arise?

Many questions. 8-)

TIA.
