How to prevent a specific application (exe) to execute.
Hi

I need guidelines about how to prevent specific application to be
executed by Windows.

What should I do to intercept a specific program execution?
Is there any sample code available? I have not find any for a week.
Is any hook to Windows API necessary?

Can anyone give me some starting points?

Thanx.

I think you can set some registry values to do that, search at this site, www.regedit.com

I guess you could hook CreateWindowEx and prevent the window from being created.

edit: Check out SetWindowsHookEx and WH_SHELL.
