Hi Jim,
Since I also was interested in how Windows 2000 handles this I did some
research. I just happened across the following,

asp
There is a Word document that you can download and it does have some rather
extensive information on how Win2K handles software installs.
Hope this is of some help.

I have heard that with NT 4.0/2000, there is a way to prevent users from
installing software on their systems.  I have recently implemented a new
policy at my company that no un-authorized (tested) software is to be
installed, and even when software is to be installed, it is to be installed
by IT department people only.  I believe this feature is part of local
security policy/user rights assignment, but I can't figure out how to
implement.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Jim
