I work at a small office and I'm trying to figure out how to disable the installation of new software. I have group policies enabled and it works, but I don't really see anything to stop users from installing new software.

This is a Win2k domain, and the individual users have "power user" rights on their own system. I've tried making the users just plain old user, but I run into to many "registry editing disabled" error messages.

Is there a way to just disable the Windows Installer Engine?

TIA!
