    If I am understanding what you are asking for correctly the easiest
    way to keep users from installing items into the registry is to ensure
    that they are not members of the Administrators group. (or possibly
    some of the other groups with near-administrator priviliges like
    backup operators). AFAIK Power users and users groups are not able to
    modify the registry, or manually access values from it via a program
    like regedit.

    Ensuring that your users are not part of the administrators group
    should keep them from installing programs. If you want them to be able
    to install some programs that are approved by you, look into creating
    MSI files. You should be able to find some good links on google,
    especially www.google.com/microsoft.
