What - blocking videos from within a browser, or just blocking all videos from being played from files that you click on on your hard drive? – Gravitas Jan 21 at 16:02
I mean files on hard drive – user1146320 Jan 21 at 16:35
What is the purpose: protecting certain group of files or preventing users from abusing the machine for entertainment? – Alois Mahdal Jan 22 at 22:22

The closest thing you can do is unassociate the video files.

How does one do this? There are also problems to this approach as he only wants it temporary, and you could easy do open with anyway. – Tom Wijsman Feb 20 at 0:37

If you are just trying to protect files on a hard drive. Encrypt them with something like TrueCrypt. Files cannot be read = files that cannot be played.
