Software to manage what a user is able to do on the machine?

I remember finding a free download Microsoft had for Windows XP that allowed you to set more specific things that a user can do on a pc (For example excluding them from installing new software (But allowing updates), etc. I can't find this now though. Does anyone happen to know what this is? I want to say that it was used in libraries, but I can't remember, and tried searching with no luck. Any help of information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Again,

Try this out:
Type that into Run box

"control.exe useraccounts2" (no quote marks"")

Hi, I just tried that and nothing happened... Just typing "control.exe" did bring up the Control Panel, but nothing happens when I add "useraccounts2"... I tried just "useraccounts" and that did not bring anything up either.

Thanks.

Maybe TweakUI?

There are several Powertoys for XP there that are free maybe one of those will hopefully work or maybe point in the direction of the software you had before.

Shot in the dark but maybe Sysinternals.
