    Users who aren't local administrators shouldn't have access to anything in System Tools anyway, and shouldn't even get the tasty stuff on their start menu.

    There's no direct way of removing these from the start menu with group policy, other than through a startup script which removes them from the start menu folder in the profile, or by folder redirection of the start menu itself to a structure which doesn't have these folders.

    Like Rob has already said. I'd use a combination of a start menu in a mandatory profile and group policy to restrict any 'local' Start menu items.

    Have you tried redirecting their desktop and all short cut, at our school they only get what we give them.
    We have this setup for all student and staff.
