If you don't use Vista you'll need to download / install .NET framework 2.0 too, as it sounds like it's not installed.

Unfortunately, each time I run setsafer.exe I get a .NET Runtime 2.0 Error conataining the following description: Faulting application setsafer.exe, version 0.9.0.0, stamp 445ec5f8, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 5.1.2600.3119, stamp 46239bd5, debug? 0, fault address 0x00012a5b. Any ideas? Cheers, Hi Sander, This looks like just the ticket for me to allow our company’s users to browse the web more safely.

I think it should have the same drawbacks as setsafer though wrt google desktop etc, as it uses windows policy settings. Maybe now google has fixed these issues, I'm still using the approach in this post and have had no more spyware issues, but have not tried the google products again.

If you somehow share the computer with other people, then setSAFER makes more sense. I know about dropmyrights, but I tried it, and it did not work when trying to limit explorer.exe, it gave out an error. While psexec works fine. I like to limit explorer.exe to open files in general.
