Nawras PC Supervisor Configures Local Security Controls
If installing a program like Trust No Exe isn't your style, you can always use registry edits and policy changes to lock down PCs. That can be a little tiresome, but Nawras PC Supervisor makes it as simple as checking a few boxes.
PC Supervisor gives you control over just about everything you might want to restrict. Control panel access can either be blocked completely or limited to only those options you want displayed. Hide drive letters and features like "run as," network connections, and the places bar.
Use it to disable everything from registry editing and task manager to display settings changes. Set up privacy tweaks like auto-clearing the recent files list and hiding the last logged on username.
Granted, most of these changes can be made using gpedit.msc and secpol.msc (built-in controls in Windows XP Pro), but PC supervisor's interface is easier to get around and it can make changes on XP Home installs as well.
PC Supervisor doesn't require installation, and is completely free. Right now there's no help file, but it's still a nice addition to your admin toolbox.

Hmm... this could have been really helpful; last time i got a malware, it messed up with system policies on my XP Home machine. Editing policies on the registry by hand is no fun at all, and even less fun is having to deal with a whole lot of them... I guess that this should go into the toolbox at least to keep handy (nowadays though my new xp home install resides confortably inside a vmware machine under linux).

Is there anything like this for Windows 2000?

I'm guessing you must have disabled drive access to C using the program. What to do now...Try running it from a USB flash drive or network share and turn that option back on. And be careful!
