Block Windows Games
I wanted to block access to Windows games like Solitaire, Minesweeper and the list goes on, and that block their relocation by all means (installation cd, add/remove program windows ....).
Is this really possible, because after reading various sites and forums, I didn't find any solution!
So, is it possible to do anything by script, or any other manipulation?
Configuration:
My company has a Windows 2003 Server with DHCP service, IIS, VPN, DNS.
Each position has Windows XP with few having Windows Vista.

I am eager to give you a solution ...
Normally you should be able to modify the installation files and thus remove the games. It requires a CD to install modified functional (DVD + RW) and reinstall all your posts.

Re: Block Windows Games
Thank you for your reply. However it was not a feasible one. Moreover I saw a solution on the net and I tested but failed!
I have tried under Windows XP virtual machine, but this does not:
Code:
@ echo off

IF EXIST D:\Documents and Settings\"All Users"\"Start Menu"\Programs\Games\*.* DEL /F /S /QC:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Games\*.Ink
break
REM Uninstallation games ended
exit
Then I copied the script in notepad, and saved it as ScriptGames.bat
It must be set .bat this script?

Re: Block Windows Games
I would have made NTFS laws on EXE so that only a network admin can be reached by reading and writing. And so that the user can not run, or even replace them.
By against, if it comes with a key containing material, and if he renowned then do not prevent it. May be with the GPO.
