How to lock down a computer

For Windows XP.
  • Create limited user account.
  • From admin open gpedit.msc
  • Go to Administrative Templates > System > Run only allowed Windows Applications
  • Define applications as winword.exe, firefox.exe etc.
  • Don't forget whatever you do to include gpedit.msc and mmc.exe otherwise you won't be able to get back in! 
  • Get rid of run... command.
