Block All Software From Being Installed?
Sep 5, 2012
I'm building (another) PC for an elderly man (90 years old) who is totally incapable of determining what may be a virus, what is potentially spyware, etc. even at the most obvious of times.He installs tons of the stuff. I'd like to add a program onto this new build which will prohibit ANY software of any kind from being installed, unless a password is entered.The PC will run Windows 7.I plan on buying Window 7 Home to put on the PC.I know that AppLocker would achieve this result, but I'm not forking out an addition $120 for that feature in Windows 7 Ultimate.

I have a different setup in that I have two Windows 7 Pro machines in a workgroup. One machine RDP�s into the other. I need to block IE access on both PC�s still allowing RDP access. I know I can rename the executable and I think there may be a way to block port 80 in the windows firewall but is there anything else that I can do?

I'm looking to block a specific network both wired and wirelessly and wondering if there is a way to do this. I spend to much time on the internet when at home. I can now lock the computers so that during specific times I can't access the home network. HOWEVER I would like to configure one laptop computer so that it can't hook up to the home network at all. Not being able to connect with the network either hard wire or wirelessly. I want to be able to take that computer to other locations though and be able to hook up wirelessly to them. So in other words I couldn't connect to the home network but can connect to other networks.

in windows vista I could block startup programs i didn't want using up system resources, but with windows 7 I cant find a way of doing that, I understand its always a good idea to have normal startup mode instead of selective in misconfiguration. but in vista I could simply block programs in component services but the ones I want to block are not even listed in windows 7! is this the wrong place to look or is blocking startup programs not an option in windows 7?

I made a post awhile back about a HDD making clicks, as though the arm was resetting. Occasionally while accessing files explorer freezes. I however noticed this has (so far) only occurred at a specific point of disk usage.I'm hoping I can some how amputate the bad section of the drive so it is never read or written to, or even seen for that matter. There are no disk errors in a scan, so I just want to cut a chunk out of it and hope for the best. Is there a safe way to do this?

I have a 13 year old daughter that's skyping more than I'd like her to. I'd like to block Skype on my Netgear WPN824v3 router. However, I've tried blocking Skype as a keyword, and all ports from 1024 to 65535 and it still allows the calls going through on my tests.

I have set up several outlook (2007) signatures and now they are gone. They are listed in the drop down menu when I click insert, signature; but when I select one, it does not appear in my e-mail. nothing does. I am not able to edit or delete them. I am able to create new ones but can't use the same name as the old ones, because a pop up say it already exists. I did some search and found out the htm, txt, and rtf files are located in C: user, <user>, appdata, roaming, msoft, signatures. I see both the ones that won't appear and the new ones I created. Not sure if this is related to my issue, but i ran a few free scans to see if i could find and fix problem. (regcleanPro, RegBoost, CCleaner) they all found a ton of errors. I'm missing a load of HKEY files, plus other stuff, too much to list.

I'm trying to install this game onto my computer. (I've got Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit) Every time I click to run the .exe I either get that Windows cannot find the specified path, or that I don't have permission to run the program. I'm the administrator on my PC so I don't understand why I don't have access to run this program.

I run Win 7 Pro (64bit), COMODO Firewall, and Steganos AntiVirus 12 and the latest SpywareBlaster.Whenever I start-up I find a lot of cookies from MS have been deposited on to my C: Drive. They manage to go through my virus checker and all other forms of protection without any sort of problem.I know it all seems a bit paranoid but I cannot see why Bing and Zune cookies (3 month ones) are deposited onto my system as I don't even use their services!Deleting them is easy, though they do tend to re-appear regularly. Which means I have to keep deleting them.How do I stop them from getting onto my system

All of my attempts to contact MS about this have resulted in being referred to a different MS forum. I am not getting a response. Can anyone provide direction? This a real drag. I do not like using my ISP email address as default for sending.

the problem i'm having is to do with the dvd/cd device on my "acer aspire 4741 with windows 7 home premium x64 notebook".the driver for the device is:DVD/CD ROM drives - (Standard CD-ROM drives)HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT30Ni decided to creat a system backup to use in case of a serious crash and i have to reinstall windows. i was able to do this on 4dvds using erecovery. i haven't had the need to use theseince then, i have burned some folders onto a dvd disc....to use like a usb....using windows explorer. all goes well with the burning part but when it comes to mounting the disc to access the folders is when all hell breaks loose.
whenever i slot the disc into the device, a dialog box shows up asking how i'm going to be using the disc. if i skip that part, launch windows explorer and double click the dvd icon, a window shows up alerting me to drag files onto the window to burn, but the folders that i had already burned on the dvd never shows up.this is what i have tried so far:1) launched microsoft fixit4me from the microsoft support center to check and fix dvd/cd device.result: problem detected but could not fi2) started system in "safe mode" ran diagnostic tool.result: CDROM-the device,DeviceCDROM0 has a bad block

Is it possible to block an individual application's access to a specific folder? Let's say I have a folder called "Water" and and application called "Fire" Can I prevent "Fire" from reading "Water"? Meanwhile, any non-"Fire" application can continue reading "Water" without issue.
As per the FAQs my expertise is well above average, but I'm far from a systems admin. I'm a hobbyist C++ coder.
