How to block .exe in a specific directory with Windows 7 Pro
Hello,
Is it possible to prevent a user to run exe files in a specific directory with Windows 7 Pro ?
In fact I would like to do the same thing that Applocker but on Windows 7 Pro as applocker cannot be used on this version of Windows 7.
Thanks in advance,
Anthony A.

If it is a share, you can do file screening to prevent users from saving an EXE there in the first place.

You can use Software restriction policies instead. Works almost the same
as AppLocker.

Thank you for your answers.
In fact I want to prevent that exe have been run in directories used habitually by apt virus. So I need to block all .Exe.
I found how to block specific .exe with GPO or software restrictions but not all .exe. Is it possible ?
