For which platform? Your mention of IE and Media Player suggest
one of the Windows based platforms, but as I recall both of those
products are also available for Mac OS X, and IE was also sold for
(ummm.. lemme see...) Solaris I think it was.
I believe you can do what you want directly in Windows XP.
Log in as administrator, right-click My Computer, select Manage .
That will bring up the program 'MMC' (you could also invoke it
from the command line under that name). Within MMC, look for
something like Local Computer Policies. In one of the subsets of that,
there is, as I recall, two settings, one which allows you to specifically
name applications that non-administrators are allowed to run (and not
allowed to run any others), and the other to name applications that
non-administrators are not allowed to run (and are allowed to run
any others.)
