tomrgsd 0 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Is it possible to block a file type in a specific folder. I don't want a system wide block just to designated local folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted July 31, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 31, 2019 You could use HIPS to block files with certain extensions in a particular folder. However, HIPS doesn't currently support detection of file types other than by their extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomrgsd 0 Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 After some testing. it doesn't appear it will work. It blocks the files from executing, but I need something to delete existing files in the folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
