Restricting an admin user's ability to use a web browser might be counter-productive.
When I'm helping out with setup of a machine, logged in as admin, sometimes I want to go to a webpage to quickly download some bit of freeware that will make life on that machine more bearable. The easiest way to do this is to download it through a web browser. (Yes, I can download via ftp, but I'm likely to use a browser to look up an ftp site that'll have whatever I'm looking for.)
It's just too bad that IE is a security hole unto itself...
