Is it possible to disable games with the Group Policy
editor?

You could use a software restriction policy which allows you to identify and
specify which applications are allowed to run.

For example:

- Control the ability of programs to run on your system. For example, if you
are concerned about users receiving viruses through e-mail, you can apply a
policy setting that does not allow certain file types to run in the e-mail
attachment directory of your e-mail program.

- Permit users to run only specific files on multi-user computers. For
example, if you have multiple users on your computers, you can set up
software restriction policy settings in such a way that users do not have
access to any software but those specific files that are necessary for their
work.

Thanks. I need a few more details. The link below goes to a Windows Server
2003 Group Policy Infrastructure. I could not find within the Group Policy
editor what the whie paper was referring to. Do I need to install a MMC
addin?
