Blocking Application Through Registry

Once you’ve probably been thinking about how to block an application so the application can not run on your computer. There are various reasons to block the application. One reason is, perhaps dangerous for the application because the system can be used by mischievous hands to ruin your PC, or any other reason you then find the program to block the application. Actually you do not have to bother looking for a special program just to block an application. Simply by editing the registry, you can do so easily. Just follow step by step :

1. Click Start> Run and type regedit

2. In the Registry Editor Wwindow go to the key :HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ Microsoft\Windows\Current

Version\Policies\Explorer

3. Create a new DWORD and give a name” DisallowRun” and fill with value  1

4. After that, create a new subkey with name  ”DisallowRun” to form key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion \Policies\Explorer\DisallowRun

5. In the DisallowRun key, you can define the application file name you want to block. Create a new string value by right clicking your mouse and select New> String Value. Give it a string value with the number 1. To block other applications you can create a new string value with the other numbers in sequence, such as 2, 3, 4, and so on. Then insert the value data with the file name you want to block, such as regedit.exe.

6. And then, restart your windows.
