It depends on your situation. You haven't told us anything except that you
have some users running some version of Vista.

If you have a domain, use Group Policy applied from the server.
If you have a Workgroup and Vista Business/Enterprise/Ultimate use GP on the
workstations.
If you have a Workgroup and Home Editions, consider MS SteadyState.

Etc.
