Just to clarify, why do you cling to the belief that users need some
sort of write ability to program files? Or even all the local drives?
Do you have some specific application that requires this? And if you do,
could it not be installed / deployed differently so that this could be
avoided?

That will block the site, but how do I set up my Citrix servers
so that the users can't install software, yet have the level of access
they need to Program Files?
I always thought that basic users couldn't install software.

Point all of the yahoo messenger servers to 127.0.0.1 in
your hosts file or dns.

I just found Yahoo messenger on one of my Citrix
servers. I thought that I had the server locked down tight enough that
users couldn't install their own software. None of my users have any
elevated rights. They are not power users. It looks like one user
loaded the software, and then another was able to access it. What is
the best way to lock this down so that my users can't install any
software? Do I need to remove the Creator Owner setting from the ACL
for the Program Files folder to keep users from installing software?
How are others preventing the loading of software by users?
I install the software that I want loaded, and I
install as an administrator.
