Hi Ram,

In windows 2003 Group policy there is a new feature that is called (
Software Restriction Policy) which it can be used to control the software the
clients run on there PC's, So if you have windows 2003 DC then you can apply
a group policy the limit the clients to use only the audio files relying on
the file extension ( *.mp3, *.wav ...etc) and disallow them from running
vedio files using a rules that meet the situation you have.
