Games and such arent such a problem here. When I discover a game on the
network, I delete it and tell the user "dont". The next time they do it I
cut off their network access. No email, no network files nothing but whats
on their (now) stand alone machine. When they cry to bosses THEY can
explain why the games are there. I havent had an incident in years.

Policy editor can control what programs are allowed to run on a system.
You
have to make a list of what programs the computer (or user) is allowed to
run, which is a bit of a pain on systems that are not dedicated to one
program, but it will work.
