Prohibit use of certain .exe's with a GPO

[acl03]

Is there a simple way to prohibit use of certain .exe files, regardless of path, with a GPO.

I don't mind a user being able to run the .exe if they change the name in this case, I just want one name to be blocked.

This possible?

Thanks,
Andrew

Duh, I had been looking all over, but only in Computer Config. Thanks!

Actually....this only blocks it if it were started via windows explorer, right?

One program I am trying to block is the Java Updater (jusched.exe). I assume this isn't started by windows explorer...any other way to block it?

Thanks,
Andrew
