Can someone please tell me how I can prevent files with certain extensions (e.g. avi, exe) from saving to my home computer's hard drive? There must be a setting in the Local Security Policy or the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc).
I hope this can be done because I want to prevent clutter!

Thanks,
Brian

But Windows, as well as most Windows applications will not work on a read-only volume.

You can set your browser security settings to block downloads, if that's what you're after.
