Restrict installing executables with Group Policy

Asked by rgutwein in Operating Systems Miscellaneous

Tags: restrict, policy, group, installing

Hello,

Is there a way in Group Policy where I can stop a user from installing any type of executable program.  I work in a School District, and I do not want a student installing programs on a computer.

I found this on the internet:
Expand User Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ System Open the policy named Run Only Allowed Windows Applications Enable the policy and click Show

But I am not sure if this will stop all executable files from being installed.  Could someone clear this up for me?  

Thanks!
