Yes, but don't worry about the programs - first worry about the data. Who
cares if he can launch Access, if he can't get to your files?
http://articles.techrepublic.com.com...1-6152061.html may help.
You can use policy settings to lock down access to a lot of things (such as
to allow a user to use only specific applications), but be very careful as
you can lock yourself out if you don't know what you're doing.
Security is a big topic - but this should be good to start with.
