Stop execution of certain file types from network share.

To set the scene.

Server 2008 R2 Standard workgroup File Server. 

Share holding multiple different media types. i.e. Company created videos (AVI, MP4 Etc) Audio recordings of Company meetings for reference (MP3).

so basically we have network saturation when employees are using such resources. we want to stop them from opening files server side and streaming over the 1Gb network and have them copy it to their local machine to open.

i had a light bulb moment where i thought adding a special permission to the files (not folder/sub folders) with deny traverse/execute would work. yep only if its a .exe

im at your mercy and thanks in advance.

Eddie.
