    Group Policy on Software


    I have found this tutorial on group policy setting up for other areas but I was wondering what the best way to set up policy's for users accessing installed software. If you can point me to what it may be called and a tutorial on here that would be great!!

    Hello Graphicsman,

    You might take a look at either tutorial below to see if one of them may be able to work for this.

    Applications - Prevent Running Specified Programs

    and/or

    AppLocker - Create New Rules

    Hope this helps,

    Since you have Windows 7 Pro, the first tutorial listed would work better for this since you could also prevent specific users from running specific previously installed programs.
