Yes, I implemented Software Policy Restrictions on my home box, which has Windows 7 Pro and therefore allows secpol.msc to be run. Click Start, Run, type "secpol.msc" and press [Enter] to start this process. Add new path restrictions under "Software Restriction Policies" -> "Additional Rules" by right-clicking "Additional Rules" and choosing "New Path Rule".
I blocked %AppData%\*.exe, %AppData%\*\*.exe, and four %Temp%\XXX\*.exe where XXX was *.zip, 7z*, Rar*, and wz*. When I rebooted, this immediately broke Cubby, Dropbox, and LogMeIn's Firefox module, so I had to explicitly allow those .exes.
For most home users this won't work - home versions of Vista and Windows 7 don't support SRPs.
