Here is two more ways to skin that cat.

vbs script in startup script.
 Code:
' (c) 2006 Plamdi.com. This file silently uninstalls the Google and Yahoo! Toolbars.
Option Explicit:On Error Resume Next
Dim WshShell,a,i:i=0:Set WshShell=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
a=WshShell.RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{2318C2B1-4965-11d4-9B18-009027A5CD4F}\UninstallString")
If a<>"" Then WshShell.Run(a&" /S"),1,True:i=i+1
a=WshShell.RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Yahoo! Companion\UninstallString")
If a<>"" Then WshShell.Run(""""&a&""" /S"),1,True:i=i+1
WshShell=Nothing:Wscript.Quit(i)


Modify for the app you want to unistall.

Or

Create a GPO:

User Configuration\Administrative templates\System\Policy\Don't run Specified Windows Applications\Insert desired apps. This can be done with registry settings.

Develop a business case for GPO's.

I would also be very careful about deleting files or remote clients. If you delete files that controls the nic or OS, you will be spending a lot of time imaging.

If you take away the admin rights, a lot of the script controlled computer mods will not work.
