Restrict Users from Running Specific Applications

We have more than one applications installed on our computer, and sometimes we also have more than one user. Some applications are not for every users, some applications could be very dangerous in the wrong hand, so we have to do something about this. Yes we can restrict users from running specific applications. Follow these steps to make it happen.

  1. Click Start > Run and type ‘ regedit ‘ to open registry editor.
  2. Find this key from left pane:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\

CurrentVersion \Policies\Explorer

  1. Create a new DWORD value and name it "DisallowRun" set the value to "1" to enable application restrictions or "0" to allow all applications to run. Right click on the right pane > New > DWORD Value.
  2. Then create a new sub-key called [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \Policies\Explorer\DisallowRun] and define the applications to be restricted. Create a new string value for each application, named as consecutive numbers, and setting the value to the filename to be restricted. To create a new sub-key called DisallowRun, right click on the key Explorer then choose New > Key, named it DisallowRun. Now to make string value to restrict applications, click on new key you just created ‘DisallowRun’ from the left pane, then point your mouse to right pane on empty space and right click then choose New > String Value, named it as consecutive number (named it ‘1’ then the next string value named it ‘2’). Double click on that string value and then put application’s name that you want to restrict (if you want to restrict notepad then type in ‘ notepad.exe ‘ ), for each application that you want to restrict you have to make a new string value.
  3. Close registry editor, and try to run an application that you restricted before. You’ll get a warning message.

Note: Don’t restrict regedit, you can’t disable this feature if you restrict regedit.

Can anyone recommend the top MSP utility for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: N-able N-central network performance
? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!

hi dudes. I'm really into shoes and I have been digging for the sake of that particular brand. The prices as regards the sneakers were all over 340 pounds on every page. But finally I found this site selling them for half price. I really want those [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]prada sneakers[/url]. I will probably purchase them. what can you say about it?
