Solution

  • To disable a program by policy you need to set the use of the 'blacklist' globally first and then your list of disallowed apps is used:

    REGEDIT4
    
    ;Enable blacklist of applications that should not run
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Shell]
    "DisallowRun"=dword:1
    
    ;Add entries to blacklist of applications that should not run
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\DisallowRun]
    "1"="fexplore.exe"
    "2"="iexplore.exe"
    "3"="clock.exe"
