You can also lock down the permissions in the registry for HKLM/software.

Are these servers NT4 or Windows 2000/2003?. If they are 2000 or above, go
into terminal services configuration and change your permission compatibility
mode to Full Security. This will stop them from installing programs. You may
have to tweak some registry key's security for some existing programs so that
they continue to work. But fixing that is trivial if you use regmon.

Subject: [THIN] Users installing programs
I have a question, I work for a property management company and we provide
Internet via Citrix to students. I have tried desperately to lock down the
servers but they seem to still be able to install Internet based programs,
(e.g. AOL instant messenger, Poker Party, etc) to name a few. Is there a way to
lock the server down tight so this cannot continue without prohibiting the
users to run necessary programs such as Office?
