[wjcollector]

Hi,

 

This may be two different topics sorry if that is the case.

 

Is there a simple way to prevent users from executing files from usb flash drives?

 

Is there a simple way to prevent users from downloading executables from internet explorer?

 

Thanks in advance.

To prevent executing files from USB drive you can disable the USB ports through group policy.

 

To Prevent users downloading files from IE, open IE > on the menu bar click on tools > Internet Options > Security > Internet > custom level > Look for file download option and choose the disable option.

 

I need to do some research if only .exe file can be blocked through IE.
