Hi there,

I somehow figure out the problem and woul like to share the
information. The bottom line is that all the shortcuts and files
involed in running an application should also be included in the
unrestricted list to allow the application to run. For example, in my
case I clicked on a shortcut on the desktop to run an application but
in my unrestricted list (see my question) only listed \Program Files,
where the application is located. Thus, the application is restricted
from running.

Hope this will help when somebody encounter similar problem.
