Program to block some .exe from running

[Mad]

i just need some prog that i can say: program ?.exe will not run.

I can create one for you in VB.net easily but if you have any time of Virus Detector worth a damn it might not allow it to run because some virus's target running .exe's

Running on your PC??? What OS?? you can set permissions with 2k/XP to only allow it to run from administrator or power user mode

If it's a service of something just go into the admin tools and disable the service (Set it to disable) note though that is if it a needed or important service, disabling it wil cause issues.

Better yet, just rename it, something like "annoyingprog.eZZe"

From this guide:

1 Go to 'Start Menu' -> 'Run', type 'regedit', and press 'enter' or click 'ok'.
2 Locate key '[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer]'.
3 Create value 'RestrictRun'.
4 Add a DWORD value for each program you'd like to block, and write the name of the app (notepad.exe, regedit.exe, etc)

Hope this helps

I was going to suggest a group policy setting as well. Though, there is an easier way of setting that than directly using the registry.

Thx for the tips. I really like it.
BUt actually i was trying to figure out a way to stop a virus on my PC. But already manage, partially actually. Its the damn sasser. It opens a tftp.exe connection and dl itself again to my pc, using a wkssvr.exe program. I set a topic about this: http://www.ngemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51959

I think ill be needing the Group Policy help.

I couldnt make the registry thingy work...
It end up like in the screen below.

How´s that supposed to be? Anyone can make one config and post a screen just to show me how to do?
I didnt find the directions clear enough-my OS isnt in English, but Portuguese-BRASIL. Well most of the time it isnt a issue, but now is....

Start Menu > Run
Type 'gpedit.msc'
Hit OK

See screenshot.

That should answer any other questions you have.
