Hi guys,
Im looking for information on how to restrict exe, bat and com files from being downloaded.
Im assuming that [RestrictedSaveApp] may be related but Im unsure.
Could anyone help with this?

Just keep in mind, ManageDL/TDownload works well for websites that do not use cookie or session based authentication such as Hotmail.
This may be what you are looking for.

We are still working on a better solution that intergates better with the normal IE save routines.

Thanks Scott,
In addition to this, there is a group policy that you can assign which will infact allow downloads, but restrict to what can actually be installed or run on the local system.
We have successfully tested this on a domain controller running Windows Server 2003, Active Directory, clients XP Pro.
Group Policy...
Windows Settings > Security Settings > Software Restrict Policies > *right click* New Software Restrict Policy
From there simply set the desired restriction on COM, BAT, EXE etc files and assign the enforcement rule.
The behaviour at the client results in the download taking place, but not running. Basically it just goes away. Please note we havent tested this extensively.
Hope this helps others.
