Now AppLocker is our third Tips & tricks on Windows 7 Operating system. Lets check what it can do…
AppLocker:
If you are usually sharing your computer with someone else, then you might want to restrict their access to your applications, files or documents.
Using the AppLocker tool, you have a few options to do this by blocking other users to access Executables, Windows Installers, Scripts, a specific publisher or path. You can simply do this by pressing the Windows key then typing Gpedit.msc.
Then go to Computer Navigation -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Application Control Policies -> AppLocker. Right click on one of the options ( Executables, Installers, or Script ) and create a new rule. That should save you from a lot of headaches.
What is AppLocker?
Windows 7 introduces a great new feature called App Locker. App locker works under the premise that it’s easier to allow the applications you want and block the rest. If you’re running a Windows 7 machine you can see App Locker by typing gpedit.msc into your
search bar and pressing enter.
In the above example I set the level to allow any version of Internet Explorer. (regardless of the file name used or the version)
You can use the same steps to create exceptions for specific applications. One of the best features is the ability to automatically generate rules.
This scans your applications in the program files directory and creates permissions for those programs to run. Perfect for quickly creating a baseline set of rules for a gold image.
You can define policies based on Executables, Windows Installers, and scripts. Creating a new policy is really simple. right click on any of the 3 categories and click new.
You can create a policy to allow or deny an executable. You can also select witch groups the rule will apply to.
You can choose to create a rule based on a publisher (the program needs to be signed) or a program path, or a file hash (usually a good choice if the program isn’t signed)
For this example I chose publisher. the Rule wizard uses the information stores application signing certificate to learn about the application. You can adjust what level of information you’ll allow for an application.
This scans your applications in the program files directory and creates permissions for those programs to run. Perfect for quickly creating a baseline set of rules for a gold image.
