On the Home versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7, the interface for SRP is the Parental Controls control panel (or the underlying API). Through this interface, you may restrict which applications may run (and more).

Run windows in LUA+SRP mode folks. This is getting so tiring. I wish people who call themselves security experts knew the first thing about security.
