There is no work around. You can however use Software Restriction Policies on XP Pro
computers in a W2K domain by managing the policy from a XP Pro domain member. For W2K
you will have to rely on ntfs permissions [which is hard as users can usually
copy/execute some programs from their user profile]and populating the disallowed
Windows Program list [or only run allowed programs, that can take quite a bit
tweaking and read the details list for both settings]. You can see these settings
under user configuration/administrative templates/system. This is not foolproof as if
a user is able to change a files name they may still be able to execute it. While
there you should also consider disabling the command prompt and adding command.com to
the disallowed list. Another possibility is to use ipsec filtering policy, which is
machine configuration, to block access to telnet, etc from all but allowed IP
addresses. --- Steve
