This is "fairly" easy to accomplish with a mixture of local policies and registry changes. But, the software available does save some time over having to research each preventive measure.
I actually found it kind of fun and challenging to lock everything but IE down "manually" a few years back.

Although we can control the security portion of surfing through our firewall/router, the local computer lacks solid controls like you can handle with group policy. Does anyone recommend a third party lock down tool for a computer to handle functions like this?
