could someone tell me a way to restrict user to only be able to run specfic applications or just point me to the documentation on it. I am trying to have a user only have access to certian applications like open office and a few text editors.

as long as they are not a terminal familiar type user (they don't know much about terminals) then just delete them from their start menus and remove the file manager too..
Read up on Kiosk type screens...

One way to accomplish what you want is to put all the restricted users in the same group, then use ACL's (access control lists) to deny that particular group execute permissions on the applications. A search on this forum or on google should explain how to use acl's.
