Complicated Registry question

Hi guys/girls

I have a question about the registry
What I want to do is set the registry up to delete a file from a computer if it turns up
specifically halo
I've got kids at my school playing halo off of a usb drive when they aren't allowed to (rather then block their account and cut off their internet/computer access) I want to set windows to delete halo.exe if it gets run Is there a way to get the registry to do it.
I've been searching around on the internet but I can't seem to find it

Would be really cool if you could help me out
oh BTW. Windows XP PR0 SP2 on a Win2k3 Server domain
I've got admin rights so I can setup a batch file to run or something like that but It would be easier if I could just put some entries into the registry for all users
Regards

Thats not possible via the registry.

The registry is merely a collection of settings, not something that monitors, scans, or modifies itself during certain conditions.

Surely there is a program out there that is able to monitor for certain files and delete them.

 

Surely renaming the .exe would be ther first move if you block it by name, you would be ebtter off removing the rights to run any, take a look at this thread over at edugeek... http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows/7041-stopping-exe-files-being-run-usb-stick.html

(post 5 has a nice set off instructions)

 

Hey.

Just tested that on my machine.. Fantastic Will apply it to the "few" machines that they have access to locally.. hopefully the domain policies wont over right it.. If they do.. I'll just change the domain ones


Thanks for all the other replies..I'm going to look at that as well

 

Don't forget this part. Kids have nothing better to do than figure out ways around the rules.
