You can still block it from the user in Group Policy, and it will be fine. As long as you allow the system to use it


I know. I also said some applications have dependancy on it. We found out the hard way one day a few years ago. A couple of apps, ever so silently, used a hidden CMD window to do some stuff. Setting this policy for the user broke both apps, giving wierd and misleading error messages. If you looked at TaskManager while the apps were running, every once in a while you'd see CMD.EXE pop up in the list, but no visible window would ever show. Clearing that policy fixed the apps, and I wanted to go beat the people who wrote them. Smile | :)
