I've made a group in Active Directory, named Excel group. How do i link the Excel.exe to this group??
I was told you can make the linkin AD, but i can't fing where.
The only solution i know is setting the security (of excel.exe) on Excel group.
But is this the windows 2000 way??

The W2K way is not to use a group for this, but an OU. All leaf objects below the OU, through Group Policy (confusing name!!!), can get access to the application.
So study Group Policy, which is very powerful but not easy, and you're there.

Havefun,

PS With Novell ZENWorks you have the option of app assignment on OU or on group basis, but that's with NDS...
