Guest PAULinLAOS Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 I have set up Access Manager on my computer to limit what programs can/cannot be opened on my User Account so that people who use the computer cannot play around with two many things and to minimize virus opening up. In Access Manager, you have select every program file to allow it to work. Now, I have a problem in that when I click on hyperlinks in a Word document or an Outlook file, I cannot open the link. This is because I have not allowed, in Access Manager, the program file that makes hyperlinks work between programs. So, I am looking for the name of the file that must be burried in Windows that actually allows the computer to open hyperlinks within Word or Outlook programs. Does anyone know what program (i.e. file with the .exe extention) that enables hyperlinks to work between programs? By the way, hyperlinks within my internet browsers work fine. It's only with hyperlinks within Word or Outlook.

Guest PAULinLAOS Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Re: process for hyperlinks Thanks for answering. Unfortunately, I'm looking for an .exe file that allows hyperlinks to work. I think it's actually for MS Office because that's where I have the problem. It's an .exe file that allows hyperlinks to work within Word documents and also hyperlinks that open from Outlook messages to internet browser. It has to be an .exe file because .dll files are not restricted on my computer. Only .exe files are restricted.

Guest Newbie Coder Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Re: process for hyperlinks Paul, Microsoft Office uses many resouce files, but the main executables for MS Office apps are things like winword.exe,... If you look in the header files for URL & check out their interfaces then you have things like URLMON.DLL & URLMON.LIB, which are used for MS Office applications Here are a few articles that explain a little further, but are not 100% suitable: References to URLMON.DLL... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/838028 This goes into hyperlinks in great detail, but is more a programming reference: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767919.aspx Another simple file for you to read: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257464 But as you said in your previous post the DLL files are unrestricted so you cannot include that file anyway ----------------- There is a registry key that will allow you to run just those particular files & none other. Adding to that key is basically what that application is doing for you: Restrict Running Applications Current User: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Di sallowRun All Users: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\D isallowRun Note: You will probably need to create the key under POLICIES: Example: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies Right-click the POLICIES KEY (left pane) | NEW | KEY & type EXPLORER Produces: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer Now, right-click the EXPLORER KEY (just created in the left pane) | NEW | KEY & type DisallowRun Now, highlight the 'DisallowRun' key in the left pane & create the following in the right pane: Create new STRING & name it 1 (incrementing each time) Example: 1 "MyDisallowedExe.exe" 2 "AnotherDisallowedFile.exe" 3 ... Now, go back to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer Highlight the EXPLORER key in the left pane & in the right pane Create a new DWORD value 'DisallowRun' & set it to 1 If you have followed these registry instructions correctly it should look like what is between the dashes below when you export the POLICIES key: ======================================================================== Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "DisallowRun"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\D isallowRun] "1"="MyDisallowedExe.exe" "2"="AnotherDisallowedFile.exe" ======================================================================== There is another registry key that can be created like above that will RESTRICT the applications that a user can run: It uses exactly the same keys to POLICIES\EXPLORER as before but you create a new key RestrictRun instead of DisallowRun: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Re strictRun 1 "MyDisallowedExe.exe" 2 "AnotherDisallowedFile.exe" 3 ... In this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer Create a new DWORD (right pane) RestrictRun & change value to 1 If you export the registry key from POLICIES it will look like this: ======================================================================== Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "RestrictRun"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\R estrictRun] "1"="MyDisallowedExe.exe" "2"="AnotherDisallowedFile.exe" ======================================================================== -- Newbie Coder (It's just a name) "PAULinLAOS" <PAULinLAOS@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:7E1AAADE-6B80-4817-93BC-609F0607BF26@microsoft.com... > Thanks for answering.
