Fortunately, my users seem to not be able to figure that stuff out. 'Course if I limited the number of times they could open any app, they might, but so far, they haven't appeared that intelligent. Heck, I even have to tell 'em when it's time to change their password because they can't reach the network drives. J

You would be surprised at that one, one user figures it out, soon after it's all round the company. They have brains when you don't want them to :) Regards Tony Patton Desktop Operations Cavan Ext 8078 Direct Dial 049 435 2878 email: [email protected] From: "John Aldrich" <[email protected]> To: "NT System Admin Issues" <[email protected]> Date: 01/06/2010 18:29 Subject: RE: Limit the amount of times an application can be opened? _____ True, but really, we're talking about LUSERS here. ;-) Seriously. how many end-users are going to be smart enough to know how to bypass that script?

Only problem with that is permissions. If "I" am launching the app, I am creating the lock file, which isn't secure. If someone is clever, or even in an accidental situation this can be bypassed. From: John Aldrich [ <mailto:[email protected]> mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2010 9:24 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Limit the amount of times an application can be opened? Use a batchfile to create a ".lock" file and check for the existence of that file and if it exists, have the batch file exit. John-AldrichTile-Tools From: Craig Gauss [ <mailto:[email protected]> mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2010 11:10 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Limit the amount of times an application can be opened? We have one application that is absolute resource hog. Unfortunately the users will open it over and over again, usually bringing the system to a crawl. It has been very difficult to train them to only open it once. Anyone have any ideas on how we could limit the amount of times it is opened?
