I've renamed it, created a zero length file with the original name and made it
readonly.

That way nothing can replace it in the background without erroring out<g>

Steve,

I wasn't asking how because I want to do this too, it was to determine what
you are trying to achieve.

So why do these users have a "personal" computer ?
Did you also do this in the DOS-days with batch files? It still doesn't make
any sense to me, but it must be me..

In IE, exactly, because you don't want scripts to run off an html-page, now
that makes sense. But scripts that were installed on the computer?

BTW, I was just looking at the ClickOnce in VS 2005, and it looks like
there's a lot of effort going into ease of installation and deployment as
well as sandboxing applications.

I think you missed the reference to me - it's my machine no one elses.
I didn't do it to clients machines
- IMO security on/of their machine is their domain (or their IT dept.) not
mine

I should also say that I've only done this on the machine I use to access the
internet, my development machine goes nowhere near the internet.

Hello Geoff, Ed.

And I agree with you both. But many users have firewalls imposed and
maintained from IT people they don't even know. They may have allowed
our .EXE once but as soon as I run something simple as a DOS batch
file, it will be blocked. I have clients who can't even download a
bat file from our internet site!

The only reason I don't use a VO program to do so is that I can't
delete 2.6 DLL files while the 2.6 is running neither can I overwrite
2.6 DLL's/RDD's with 2.7 versions with the same name.

I'll try it with InnoSetup and look into VB batch possibilities later.
