Having a closer look at this, AppSec which is part of the Windows 2000
resource kit may help out. You can define application names *and paths* that
are allowed to run. Simply install your allowed applications, then grant the
user only read and execute permissions to files in that directory. That way
they cannot overwrite authorised apps with applications of their own.
