Restricting User Access to Programs in Windows XP

[Red Angel]

Does anyone here know (if it's at all possible) how to restrict which user accounts in Windows XP Pro can run which programs? Thanks in advance.

Do you need to protect sensitive data in files and folders that are stored on your computer?
The Encrypting File System (EFS), found in Windows XP Professional but not Windows XP Home Edition, allows you to encrypt your files and folders for added security of sensitive data against theft or hackers. Restricted File Access, also found only in Professional, allows you to restrict access to selected files, applications, and other resources
