  1. How to Prevent Executables/Programs from Running from Unapproved File Paths

    I tested it again by copying over Wordpad from its original source, this time with all of its other files (these files were some executable with the word "filter" in its name and a .mui file). I copied over to the D drive, and it worked. Without these files, it just shows the error message...
  2. How to Prevent Executables/Programs from Running from Unapproved File Paths

    Oh, I forgot to mention, nothing appears in Event Viewer, even by manually checking it instead of using the custom view. I have created a different rule as a test to block all apps on the D drive (a Flash Drive I had) for all users, and then copied just the VLC media player exe (vlc.exe) to the...
  3. How to Prevent Executables/Programs from Running from Unapproved File Paths

    Thank you, @ThioJoe. I tried this, and I followed the guide, but they haven't worked. I made sure everything was set up properly, enforced the rules, restarted the computer, but they still haven't worked. That video was useful though, thank you. I was already subscribed to your channel but I...
  4. How to Prevent Executables/Programs from Running from Unapproved File Paths

    Yes, I do. I've been searching online on tutorials of how to use AppLocker (as suggested by @neemobeer and @garlin), but the results didn't help.
  5. How to Prevent Executables/Programs from Running from Unapproved File Paths

    I now have Windows 11 Pro (thank you, @antspants). How would I use AppLocker to restrict programs? Like I said in my original post, the guest should be able to run programs from "C:\Program Files", but I don't want them running programs from, for example, "C:\Users\Guest\Downloads". Thank you...

    Yes, it came with Windows 11 Home installed

    Hi, thank you for the offer. You don't have to though. Also, how do you pm someone on here? I'm new to this site 😅
  8. How to Prevent Executables/Programs from Running from Unapproved File Paths

    To be honest, I just don't have the money to buy a Windows Pro product key at the moment.
  9. How to Prevent Executables/Programs from Running from Unapproved File Paths

    Hi, unfortunately, upgrading to the Pro version isn't currently an option for me, as if it was, I would have already done that. I did know that, but, isn't it the same as creating a different user, removing it from the "Users" localgroup and adding it into the "Guests" localgroup? If so, I've...
  10. How to Prevent Executables/Programs from Running from Unapproved File Paths

    I have a Windows 11 Home Laptop, running version 23H2. I have created a second user account named "Guests" for my friends and family to use my laptop when they need to. However, I don't want them to accidentally change a setting or install something to my laptop. I already know that you can use...
