I need to know how to create a user group that would only allow the client
to do the following:

1. Lockdown applications only run
Outlook
prog1.exe
prog2.exe
Firefox.exe

2. Mycomputer ( only view a certain mapped drive / folder eg P:\data)

3. We also have several printers shared on SRV1. Is there a batch utlity
that would automatically add three of the printers to that group. This is so
we do not have to setup printers everytime we add a new user.

That easiest done by using Software Restriction.

Lock down the TS further with a restrictive policy, hide all drives
except the P drive, use NTFS permissions on the file system.

You can do this in many different ways. From a command line (i.e.
inside your logon script), with the rundll32 command:

or use your favorite scripting tool (vb, kixtart, etc).
