Software Restriction Policies
In most organizations the majority number of employees runs the same applications and it is quite normal to find a list of approved applications. Apart, from disallowing standard users (non administrator privileges) to install any unapproved applications some IT policies dictate that some applications although required to be present on the computer for administration purposes, standard users are not allowed to execute them. For example, you may want to block admin scripts and specific DLLs from running. You can achieve this with help of Group Policies – Software Restriction Policies.
