TARGET, TECH: software to block downloading of .exe files?

["Kimberly A. Ault" <ault_k@MAIL.DRAGON.K12.PA.US>]

Hi Tech Gurus!

I've only been on this list for a week, and I'm already on my second
request for information! Thank goodness I found this list!

We are using an NT server and are having problems with students
downloading executable files. They have put passwords on the computer,
downloaded real player, winamp, etc. We don't want them to be able to do
that. Does anyone know of any way to block them from downloading and
saving them to our network and/or computers?

Thanks in advance!

Kim
