Prevent some browsers executions

[Contro]

I have found the way to protect with password any script.
But I would like to have control over the main browsers executables.
firefox.exe
chrome.exe

etc.

1. How can assign to execute any url with the password protected script ?
2. How can i hide the main browsers executable to prevent accidental execution ?

Best Regards

What does "accidental execution" mean exactly?

I don't understand what you are trying t accomplish.

There is always 'secpol.msc' where you can create software policy rules that can prevent the execution of any *.exe.

If the above terms don't mean anything to you or are not sure about, then you shouldn't attempt the above. At least not without getting to know what policies are and how they can affect the functionality of your Windows installation. It's easy to make a mess there.

I haven't messed around much with policies. But I do have a link with some Registry Tweaks for those who have a Windows version lacking a group polocy editor.

Don't ask me how to use it.  I saw it mentioned and it looked like a good link to save.

Of course if you don't want anyone launching links you could take the quick and dirty approach of setting a default browser, say firefox.exe, then renaming the file to FFox.exe.

But then it's likely the Open With dialog would pop up anyway.

saved. I have to try with care

what I want simply is invite a user to browse from a virtual machine instead from the system.

I would like the user, or myself, use a virtual machine to navigate. But he need the system to browse when using his digital certificate from a card writer. The rest from the virtual machine. That's the idea.

I see.  Thanks for the clarification.

Can i hide the executables ?

Trying

If a shorcut to an url is created I have to modify to ask for the password or simply execute.

How can I limit the new tabs operation ?

I need a code snack able to do this :

Configure Don't show files, folder or hidden units.
Hide browser executables when usually installed in system under w7-64
Rename this executables to another name : example Luis.001.exe and so on.


Then I can put the script that need password to execute the rename file.

Other possible addon is modify the existing url or lnk to urls to be launched with the script.

Is this possible ?
