Disabling MS office files authored by other users

[ChahSiuBow]

My roommates always open office files made on other ppl's pcs and i don't want viruses on my comp, so anyone know how to disable MS office files made by people other than me? Like... if the author is not me?

yeah..i have norton antivirus already.... i just want to teach them not to do that.

I don't want to blatantly locked them out like that... I just want to do it covertly.. like disabling my A drive, blocking certain sites, restricting certain things...hehe

If you are using NT/2K/XP and he is using his own login you could disable access to the MS Office directories and any other program you want to block. Win9X and any Office you will not be able to do this though.
