Hi,
I'm using GP to diable certain applications from running, however one inparticular "AIM" changes its filename depending on the version eg. currently it is "aim6.exe" is there a way to do something like "aim*" in GP?

Because apps like skype use port 80 and other similar ports used for internet traffic, if we did that we might have some other problems ;o)

Use a wildcard on the path i.e.

C:\Program Fiels\Ares\*.exe

This will also stop users from renamong the executable but it wont stop them from changing the installation path if they choose a custom install.
