If you want to restrict users from creating program items in Program Manager, you can set restrictions by using either a) the User Profile Editor in Windows NT Advanced Server, or b) the Registry Editor in Windows NT.

However, after you set the proper restrictions, users can still create program items by holding down the ALT key and double-clicking the white space in a program group.
