TIRED OF THE KIDS INSTALLING DUBIOUS SOFTWARE???

Here is the solution From one of Ma friends facebook page :

AppLocker is a new Windows 7 feature that ensures users can only run the programs you specify. Don't worry, that's easier to set up than it sounds: you can create a rule to allow everything signed by a particular publisher, so choose Microsoft, say, and that one rule will let you run all signed Microsoft applications.
Launch GPEDIT.MSC and go to Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Application Control Policies > AppLocker to get a feel for how this works.

The Linux kernel is written in the version of the C programming language.
