This can cause some application compatibility issues, but it is better to try and work those out then continuing to give users those elevated rights. Applications that still "require" admin rights (according to the vendor) to run can usually be fixed with the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit. If that is not an option for you, you can configure file/folder security natively in Group Policy under Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > File System.

I don't want them to be able to write or delete to the windows and some other directories. Should I do this through NTFS or group policies?
