disable windows games

That should be possible under:
User policies --> policies --> Administrative Templates --> system --> find the policy named "don't run specified Windows Applications"
add:
hearts.exe
freecell.exe
inkball.exe
winmine.exe
mahjong.exe
Pinball.exe
solitaire.exe
SpiderSolitaire.exe
PurblePlace.exe
sol.exe
minesweeper.exe
spider.exe
mshearts.exe
chess.exe
Please be aware that i don't know if there has been added any further games since i made that list and that the users can workaround this block by finding the .exe files and change the filename to something different.
