Use Security Policies Editor and enable users or goups of user to use only the application that you want. Whith this tool you can edit a list of allowed applications ( you must include in this list the exe, com, bat, cmd files of the OS and applications)

This makes sense. However I obtained some software to help me with this problem, called Winlock. The interface isn't the best I've seen but it does the job.

If you are using Profiles on your subnet, you can login on the computer as administrator and with a right click on the start button on the computer in question select what you want the user to see on the desktop, start menu and much more. We use them to control users who want to install other software on the departmental machines (games & IM applications).
