Greetings Rich,
As far as installation of programs are concerned, limited
users cannot install most of the programs. But, if you set
Group Policy then there is a chance that they can access
it as Group Policy is accessible by all users. So, if the
File System is NTFS then you can block the Group Policy
folder by setting appropriate restrictions.
This might not help a bit though.
regards
David
