Locking Down a Win7 Pro so only a few programs can run

I need a solution

SEP Forum,

Got hit with a very specific question that I am not exactly sure this product can resolve. Wondering if anyone out there has some insights or suggestions.

Management wants a group of computers locked down so they can only run 2-3 installed programs.  All internet, chat, FTP, etc blocked.  No mapping of drives. No USB sticks.  No customizations of the PC what-so-ever.  You run these 2-3 programs only. The rest of the PC is basically a door stop.

On concept, I think I can tell SEP to block everything and then add exceptions but I think I will find it harder than that because applications may need components like .net and I don't want to stop internal processes like Windows Updates and Defrag.

I think it is an interesting concept/challenge.  I don't want to say no right off the bat without at least exploring the possibility.  Any productive thoughts would be appreciated.

Douglas
