Therefore, to block other users from certain applications installed on the system, the easiest is to use a third-party software as Simple Run Blocker.

Also, using the menu drop-down displayed at the top right of Simple Run BlockerUsers can quickly create access lists (whitelist) or Restrictor (blacklist), Or deactivate for all applications listed in the program. Creating an access list, users can block access to all applications installed in the system except those in that list and creating a list of restrictions, users can block access only to the applications that are in the list. After creating one of the two lists possible that changes made to take effect (ie, applications that access be blocked), click on the button Save (check mark).
After this setup, whenever a user will try to access an application on the blacklist (or not found on the whitelist), the system will display a error message specifying that access to that application is restricted.
