I enabled the group policy User Config | Admin Templates | System | Restrict
these programs from being launched from help. And typed the following:
freecell.exe,pinball.exe,sol.exe There are some more I believe but don't
know file names yet. But, I'm able to log on as a user that this policy
effects, From My computer choose Help, Search on Windows Games, and open
Solitair. I thought this policy would prevent it since it's enable and
sol.exe is listed. Am I enabling this correctly and/or is there another
Policy I can use?
