use policy editor

(start >> run >> gpedit.msc )

then go to :

User Configuration, then Administrative Templates, and then expand System

find in the list at the bottom "Don't run specified Windows applications"

add the program you dont want the users to run in there.

I think gpedit only works in XP pro

The GPedit is only a windows XP Professional function, can't be done on Xp Home.

damn missed the XP Home bit

in short

you cant restrict access to programmes in XP Home. Its not the sort of thing home computers usually want so wasnt included.
