You have several options, depending on whether you're using Windows
2k3 or 2k. You can block the "Add/Remove programs" from the control panel or
you can block the entire control panel. You can also disable IE. With W2k3,
there is an available feature to block based on program path and an .exe
hash. This has been discussed here in terms of security, but can also be
used to prevent users from installing and running apps, if you have a
specific list of apps that you want to block. Do remember that this feature
only works on Windows XP. There also additional software restriction rules
that you can create in order to prevent the user from installing various
applications. Another approach would be to NOT make the users local admins
and just run/install apps with elevated privileges.

Subject: How to block users from installing other apps
Due to several customized inhouse applications, the
users need to be local aministrator to lauch the
applications. Since most users are local
admin, they can download and install applications such
as games, AOL instant messages...from internet.
Is it possible to block users from installing
applications through Group Policy in this case? or
disable internet explorer?
Any solutions or suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Jane
