You mean, you want to block downloading programs from Internet?

First policy to implement is Disable Right Click, Save to disk
User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Compnents > Internet Explorer > Browser Menus > Disable Save this program to disk option.

Disable DL and running programs.
User Configuration > Windows Settings > Internet Explorer Maintenance > Security > Security Zones and Content > Import Current Zones and Content > Select the Internet icon, click Custom. Check the following are all set to disabled.
Downloads > File Downloads - DISABLED
Miscillaneous > Launch Downloads and Unsafe Content - DISABLED
Miscillaneous > Launch Programs and Unsafe Content

Do this on a test setup first, make sure it doesn't give you blocks on things you might want.

From my post here Disabling Internet Downloads with Exceptions[link]

Hope this helps
