Group Policy Local Computer
Hello Experts...I have a computer where I want to restrict access to Windows Explorer. Using the Local Group Policy Editor what do I need to do to prevent access to Windows Explorer. This is a Windows 7 64 bit PC. Please advise. Thanks!
Alex
gpedit.msc should do it.

Okay...but what setting in the group policy editor will prevent this?
Ah, I don't think the local group policy will allow you to do that actually, I just checked and I can't see any options there...
Sorry :*(

Hi.
You have to provide some details. What should that be good for?
restricting explorer.exe in particular is difficult as it's the whole shell, not only the file browser. So yes, you could exchange the shell for another program and restrict the rest - if that's sensible depends on your goal.

Great answer! Thanks!
To be added: circumventing this is easy as long as you have access to any open dialogue (CTRL-O) or task manager (CTRL-Shift-Esc).
