Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)
I am an administrator on a fairly tightly controlled network. We use the
"Run only allowed Windows applications" option in our Group Policies and then
list all the executables which are permitted. Recently we installed Office
2003 and added, among others, WINWORD.EXE to our list of allowable
applications.
Here's the problem: When I am logged in with the above restrictions (not as
an admin) and click on a hyperlink I receive the following error: "This
Operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer".
This is true for all link types: URL, External Word document, and internal
bookmark. If I change the restriction to allow running any application, the
error goes away and it works fine. This leads me to believe that I need to
add an application to the allowed list.
My question: How do I find out what executable Word is trying to call so
that I can add it to the "Allowed Applications" list?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated
