lock down windows 7 users from control panel among others

hey guys

I have about just under 200 computers that i help manage at our company.
I am wanting to block some features with in the standard user account of windows.

Here is a few things i would like to block access to.

• Control Panel
• installing any programs
• uninstalling any programs
• access to computer
• and so on

i know that i can hid most of them from showing up but what i would really like to do is block it to where you had to have a administrator username and password to access sertant areas.

They use to do this at my school but i had no idea on how to do this?
Is there a program or a way i can set up the computer to do so?

Note we are using windows 7 pro

Hey @schottas and @gregrocker thank you for your input. I am using a windows server....kinda..... We are runing the kaspersky server software on it. It is running windows server 2003 (maybe 8 i will double check Monday). Other then running kaspersky the server does nothing. Im asuming there is a way to set the server up to manage all the users for the pc's? I would like to utilize the server more but i have spent about 20 with a server and thats all i know about it at the moment. Im trying to learn on the fly as you can tell!

Thank you for your input

Ok so after doing some research i think i am needing to swithc over to a domain vs a workgroup.
I think this will allow me to do what i need to do and then more!
Thank you everyone for your help and imput.
