Networks
We are a Windows 2000 network using Active Directory.
The powers that be decided they do not want employees accessing Solitaire and the other games that come with Windows 2K Professional.
Is there a way to deny access to these via group policy? For the life of me, I can't figure it out.

Via policy, yes, but users can work around it if they have any tech savvy at all. You must also block access to other utilities that users can use to get around policy.

Honestly, if the workers have the time to play games, perhaps there is something more that needs to be done than change a policy.

Thank you. It worked. Now when you try to access a game it denies access and refers you to the [evil] system administrator (muahahaha).
Most of the abusers are new employees who overlooked the policy in the employee handbook or temp employees. And, of course, there is always the employee who tries to push the envelope.
Since most of my users wouldn't know what a command prompt is, let alone how to use it to run a game, I think I'm covered for awhile.
Thanks for an easy solution.

By the way all this is there already in the software package.
