Re: Restrict certain file types on a Windows 2000 share

If you want to make it even faster at killing files I would see if there's a wmi listener available for files that have 
been written then make the script a service that runs in the background.

HI Mary Hendrix,

Probably you could write a script (WSH or VBS) and store it in the
shared folder itself (with proper permissions so that others wouldn't
able to read and execute or modify its contents), containing a check
for any file other than .doc or .xls (and any other which you wish to
be stored). If this script finds any such file (other than .doc and
.xls), it should execute a delete command on such files.
