Hiya

We are currently running windows xp professional at work and I want to know if its possible to stop some users downloading files/programmes? Do we need to purchase additional software?

Thanks

No we don't, so I take it we need to set one up in order to achieve what we want

Not neccesarily. If you had MS ISA server then you could control it and keep logs on users.

You could do a search for some proxy software which you could install and do pretty much the same thing as MS ISA at the fraction of the cost.
