Blocking Application in Windows XP
Blocking application to restrict it to execution. This is an useful trick I think to System Administrator or who have a PC that they want to protect their privacy.
Its way :
-
Open your registry editor (Click Start-Run then type regedit), then find the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / Policies / Explorer
-
If you have found the key, add new DWORD Value and rename it to be DisallowRun.
-
Double click the value and set data value to be 1.
-
Create new key under Explorer key and rename it tobe DisallowRun, so the complete key will be like this:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / Policies / Explorer / DisallowRun
-
On DisallowRun key, create new String Value, and rename it to be (example: application1). Double click the value and set the data value by application that you want to block. (Example winamp.exe, cmd.exe, or regedit.exe)
-
Close your registry editor.
-
Logout or restart PC to take the effect.
Good Luck
