How about use cacls to set the ntfs permissions on the executable so that
the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM has full control and do not add/list any others.
Downside is that the when running a login script to do this, end users must
be admins on their boxes to have the rights reset.

Another option might be a software restrict policy object to disallow both
executables. Downside is that you have to be in an Active Directory
environment and all users on Windows XP to accomplish.
