    Question

    Just doing some brain picking here... I'm wanting to write an application that keeps people from installing software on a machine.

    How can I use vb to monitor whats being installed?

    Thanks

    Though one!
    You could setup a monitor, that loops the TaskManager every 1 milisec. or so, to see if the files install.exe, setup.exe etc. is in the list, and then stop it.

    Hope this helps!

    Or you could use policies.
    It would be easy with NT, just dont give the users the admin password.
    With 9x, you'd have to setup a policy on your PDC.
