Jeremy,

You can use Software Restriction Policy to restrict user running an
application. Software restriction policies are a new feature in Microsoft®
Windows® XP and Windows Server 2003.

However, it is possible to use software restriction policies in a
mixed-mode deployment. That is, you do not have to upgrade your Windows
2000 domain controllers to take advantage of software restriction policies.
You can use a Windows XP Professional computer to edit the Group Policy
object and configure your software restriction policy. Windows XP and
Windows Server 2003 computers that download the GPO will enforce the
software restriction policy. Computers running Windows 2000 will ignore the
settings.

For more information, I would suggest you to visit the link given below:
