In what way has XP "torpedoed" the ability to control user rights? XP honors 
policies, with even more granularity than Win2K did. 
 
You chould also add something on the proxy server to prevent the download of 
.exe (or .zip's containing .exe, etc.) from the net.

Hi Folks,



Had a friend ask me about this and wasn't sure what was out there.



Told him you (used to) control it with user rights but XP Pro has pretty
much torpedoed that.



Thanks !
