Hi all,

is any one have idea to prevent install software under windows xp

The users always infect virus due to they install some unknown software.

For this, you need:
a. Prevent them from copying or download files to their machine
b. Prevent running any file not from authorised folders
c. Prevent running files from CD (including autorun).

As you see this is possible but quite restrictive.

What is that means - "Prevent running any file not from authorised folders"

If I want to install Ms Office, is it install it in a special folder?
How to authorise a folder to run software? And how to restirct a folder to
run Apps?

Please read about software restriction policies in MSDN,
it's all there.
