Normally I block Internet access by using the Firewall:

My question is: how can I block ALL the programs in a particular folder
(*.exe) or, for that matter all the contents of a folder without having
to go thru them one-by-one?
At the moment, I have to enter them all individually, both for incoming
& outgoing; and it's tedious.
How often do you actually have multiple EXEs in the same folder? It seems
to me that would be a rare occurrence as programs tend to use separate
folders and sub-folders all to themselves - which is the prudent way to
construct your drive. Please don't say you actually choose to install
more than one to a folder...
I do. I see nothing wrong with that.
When you install the program, the program determines the proper path to
use. If it doesn't, you're screwed.
