What would stop me from naming very_bad_file.exe to seemingly_good_file.txt to bypass this?

LEWIS/SPECTRAL RESPONSE INC./SPECTRALNT1) Subject: Floppy & CD Access Control and Authorisation Is anyone aware of any solutions that would check floppies, CD's etc. and block unapproved file types (exes, mp3's etc.) from being transferred to the PC? I can only find physical / software locks that block everything or software authorisation systems that allow access to a pre-authorised disks only. I know that there are content security solutions that can be configured to stop unapproved file types entering an organisation via email and the Internet and there are server resource management solutions that can stop a user saving unapproved file formats onto a network share but I can't find a solution like this for removable media. Does anyone have any ides? Ian.
