Re: To prohibit creation or access of a particular file type?

If there were a way to prohibit people from creating or opening files with the ".mp3" extension, then users will simply store their music in files with some other extension, say ".mp33" or ".mp3.blah" or whatever.

What is it you really need to do?

Hi all,

Is there any way in Windows XP to prohibit user from creating and accessing
a particular file type like ".mp3"?

if not, is there any third party tool to do it?

Thank you,

Samuel
