If your clients are on XP, you can use 'Software Restruction Policy':

Description of the Software Restriction Policies in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310791

Windows 2000 only have 2 limited policies under 'User
Configuration\Administrative Templates\System'
"Run only allowed windows applications"
"Don't run specified windows applications"

However, the policy uses a specific executable name. Users can easily rename
the executables to run them. Besides that, if user have access to command
prompt, they could execute from there as well.

There is a workaround for this too, you can digital sign the standard
applications, as the current content of WINDOWS and Program Files at a clean
PC, or installed with the programs the organization need. then deny
everything else
