How to block Downloads via GPO with Policy Templates?

Todde replied

Hi,

just downloaded the latest Policy Templates in Version 7.7 and installed them in our Central Policy Store. I went through all the settings but cannot find a configuration allowing us to block downloads of eg. executable files .

Even safebrowsing is not included to configure.

Any ideas?

We don't currently have a policy to completely disable downloads.

You can accomplish this by setting the Download Directory policy (not the Default Download Directory) to a directory the user doesn't have access to (C:\Windows\System32) and the download will fail immediately.

Thanks. This workaround could work.
