Just don't, they will be unable to run any program.....

>or ordinary install files
don't give them more than user rights, if they have superuser or administrator rights they can install programs, especially don't give them any local rights.

I have not given then more the user rights thats on of the proglem, can't i block it from the register ?

Nope, as I said before, blocking all exe files makes a computer useless. Then they won't even be able to run Word, just to give an example.

Just don't give them any local rights. And make sure you haven't given them those rights in active directory.
