Hi I have domain controller runing windows server 2008. I don't want all my clients Window xp windows vista and wiindows 7 can play the game that defually have in windows. What is the best ways to achieve my goal? Thanks

Open Group Policy, navigate to UserConfiguration\AdministrativeTemplates\System. Find policy named "Don't run specified Windows applications" and add the games there like chess.exe,frecell.exe http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323525/en-us Another way out would be ussing the applocker (application locker) as well http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Securing-Application-Execution-Microsoft-AppLocker.html http://www.virmansec.com/blogs/skhairuddin

Hi ! In Windows 7 Enterprise / Professional Windows Games is not avalaible, but using Applocker would be easier however this only works with Windows 7/2008 R2. If you are using Windows Vista you can use this group policy User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar > Remove Games link fom Start Menu HOW TO: Restrict Users from Running Specific Windows Programs in Windows 2000 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/323525 http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Software-Restriction-Policies.html http://www.dkszone.net/how-to-remove-games-from-windows-7-or-vista-start-menu Best regards

You could also script this if using server 2003 with XP clients. Something like the below: sysocmgr /q /i:%windir%\inf\sysoc.inf /u:\\sharename\sharefolder\answer.txt Then an answer file which would look like this: [Components] freecell=off hearts=off freecell=0ff hearts=off minesweeper=off pinball=off solitaire=off spider=off zonegames=off Hope that helps.Ben Weinberg Prime-Networks www.prime-networks.co.uk Please post the resolution to your issue so that everyone can benefit Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
