I don't think you will be able to accomplish the above under XP Pro itself. There could be some 3rd party software that could let you do that, I am not sure.

To disable accounts, just go to Computer Management -> Groups and Users -> and then Properties of the account.

In IE, you can disable all downloads.

Tools > internet options > "security" tab >custom level > find "downloads" in the list and choose to either enable or disable.
