Disable software install with group policy

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have to lock down a few systems preventing any users from installing
software. Problem is that I have a few apps that require full admin
rights in order to run properly. Does anyone know if a way where
through XP group policy manager, the rights to install software can be
revoked while still retaining admin privileges for the user? It's odd,
I know.

Thanks in advance...
