But since this is the main TS newsgroup, I'll duplicate my answer 
here. Please continue thread only in this forum!

First of all: good of you to lock down the TS! A locked down TS 
should always be your default starting point.
Now you have to open up only those particular folders or registry 
keys which users absolutely must have access to in order to run the 
application.

To identify those areas, download FileMon and RegMon from 
http://www.sysinternals.com/. Run them as administrator (when no 
user is connected), start a TS session as a normal user and try to 
run the application.
 
FileMon and RegMon will show you all "access denied" errors that 
occur, so that you can give your users the necessary permissions on 
a file-to file or Registry subkey basis.

Check my QB-specific info as well, might give you a head start:
