So anything that a user drops on their desktop, My Documents, etc. can't be run. We only do this for our students currently, though. We don't block executables for employees. Obviously, Google didn't invent dropping apps in non-standard folders. But that's moot; it's still the wrong thing to do because (A.) standards are standards for a reason and (B.) the main purpose of doing it appears to be to get around enterprise security policies. -----Original Message----- From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 05, 2008 3:43 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Google Chrome plays outside of Vista Security Zones Very true. What we need now is a mechanism for stopping the user from running apps outside of the security zones.
