RE: How to stop TS users seeing/using installed programs.

Redirect your users to a custom desktop and a custom Start Menu,
which only contains the applications they should run.
This is easiest done with a Group Policy, applied to the OU which
contains the TS:

User Configuration - Windows Settings - Folder Redirection
Desktop
Start Menu

Make sure to use "loopback processing" with the Replace option in
this GPO as well:

Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - System - Group
Policy
User Group Policy loopback processing mode

Remove unneccesary applications from the Default user start Menu.
Use NTFS permissions on the file system to keep users out of areas
they should not have access to.
