Prajwal Desai 6 Report post Posted August 9, 2012 To prevent executing files from USB drive you can disable the USB ports through group policy. To Prevent users downloading files from IE, open IE > on the menu bar click on tools > Internet Options > Security > Internet > custom level > Look for file download option and choose the disable option. I need to do some research if only .exe file can be blocked through IE. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
