You might consider Regprot.

"RegistryProt is a 100% free, standalone, compact, low-level realtime
registry monitor and protector, that adds another dimension to Windows
security and intrusion detection. By monitoring important locations and keys
in the Windows system registry, RegistryProt will alert whenever a key is
added or changed, and then give the option of accepting the key change,
reverting back to the original key setting, or deleting the key."

It doesn't "lock down" the registry per se but it does give you a better
handle on what gets added.
