I have used the software restriction policy to stop exe. But when the exe is in the zip it still runs. I incleuded the .zip extension in resricted extension but made no difference.

Trust no-exe worked for me. It also told me that ZIPS were running the enbedded exe in C:\Documents and Settings\harveygs\Local Settings\Temp\ . I then could set a GPO to prevent exe running from this location temp location. <br />
All the other functions of ZIp and un Zip still seem to work ok.<br />

Many Thanks<br />

I am the network manager in a school. 2003 and xp domain.<br />
I can prevent exe files from running Ok. But when a student double clicks on an exe file from within a ZIP it runs ok. I have tried to prevent running ZIP &nbsp;files but could not stop them. by Using security settings in a GPO.<br />
<br />
Any thoughts on preventing these exe from running.<br />

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
