Personally I think you will be fighting a losing battle trying to look at the registry to determine what people are using and trying to prevent it.
There are a couple of common games and applications which we do not want the users to run. Of course we will never be able to prevent everything, but this is also a method to locate which users that run this non-authorized stuff.

If that is your goal then use policies to only allow AUTHORIZED applications to be run, then nothing can be run except those applications on your list.
Not an option as our environment is far to complex and such policies would only result in more work for us. If we inventory what is run we can check runned software when we have the time.

Though on a side note I still don't really see the reasoning behind this. If an employee can not be trusted to do his/her work then let them go and hire someone else that will.
This doesn´t work in reality.
Altough. If you have nothing to contribue with regarding the topic then please do not answer either. I wish to discuss how not why.
