Re: process for hyperlinks
Paul,
Microsoft Office uses many resouce files, but the main executables for MS Office
apps are things like winword.exe,...
If you look in the header files for URL & check out their interfaces then you
have things like URLMON.DLL & URLMON.LIB, which are used for MS Office
applications
Here are a few articles that explain a little further, but are not 100%
suitable:
References to URLMON.DLL...
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/838028
This goes into hyperlinks in great detail, but is more a programming reference:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767919.aspx
Another simple file for you to read:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257464
But as you said in your previous post the DLL files are unrestricted so you
cannot include that file anyway
-----------------
There is a registry key that will allow you to run just those particular files &
none other. Adding to that key is basically what that application is doing for
you:
Restrict Running Applications
Current User:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Di
sallowRun
All Users:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\D
isallowRun
Note:
You will probably need to create the key under POLICIES:
Example:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
Right-click the POLICIES KEY (left pane) | NEW | KEY & type EXPLORER
Produces:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Now, right-click the EXPLORER KEY (just created in the left pane) | NEW | KEY &
type DisallowRun
Now, highlight the 'DisallowRun' key in the left pane & create the following in
the right pane:
Create new STRING & name it 1 (incrementing each time)
Example:
1 "MyDisallowedExe.exe"
2 "AnotherDisallowedFile.exe"
3 ...
Now, go back to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Highlight the EXPLORER key in the left pane & in the right pane
Create a new DWORD value 'DisallowRun' & set it to 1
If you have followed these registry instructions correctly it should look like
what is between the dashes below when you export the POLICIES key:
========================================================================
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"DisallowRun"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\D
isallowRun]
"1"="MyDisallowedExe.exe"
"2"="AnotherDisallowedFile.exe"
========================================================================
There is another registry key that can be created like above that will RESTRICT
the applications that a user can run:
It uses exactly the same keys to POLICIES\EXPLORER as before but you create a
new key RestrictRun instead of DisallowRun:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Re
strictRun
1 "MyDisallowedExe.exe"
2 "AnotherDisallowedFile.exe"
3 ...
In this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Create a new DWORD (right pane)
RestrictRun & change value to 1
If you export the registry key from POLICIES it will look like this:
========================================================================
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"RestrictRun"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\R
estrictRun]
"1"="MyDisallowedExe.exe"
"2"="AnotherDisallowedFile.exe"
========================================================================
