Default How can I stop students from installing apps...

I need to stop students from installing software on their own from the Internet. We are running ZFD 7 with sp1. Our workstations are using client 4.91 sp4. We are using Dynamic local user with all of the students logging in into Netware as themselves then automatically logged in locally as a user called Student into the workstations. These local Student accounts are only in the Users group so they are supposed to be quiet restricted. Furthermore we use ZEN to push down Group Policies to lock down the workstation even more. We have prevented kids from installing apps from the CD and/or floppy drives but cannot seem to do anything about it when they run the install from the Internet.

I know I am not the only one out here with this problem; I am curious to hear what some others have done.
