We use some software called Browse Control made by a company called CodeWork in Manchester.

Lets you do all sorts. Block web access, URL and App filter. Disable USB drives, CD ROM.

Its quite cheap too

Edit - Plus it lets you lock screens and keyboards too

Net Control 2 would do it but it costs about £120 for 1 Administrator and 20 remote PC's.

Or.... give T-VNC a try.
