What's in the Recycle Bin is not the actual *accounts*, but the profiles 
for the accounts -- what's in MY Documents and on the Start Menu and so on.
  Through the Control Panel, you can get at a utility for actually creating, 
modifying, and deleting accounts.  And if you use NTFS, you can right-click 
on any file or folder and go to the Security tab and restrict the access to 
that item that any account has (including the ability to modify such 
permissions...); in the case of folders, you can set permissions which will 
normally be "inherited" by files and folders contained in the folder you 
adjust.
  So it's possible to block your children's access to folders you don't want 
them prying into, including the folders within Program Files of applications 
you don't want them to run.  (Simply not including those applications in the 
Start Menus of profiles doesn't stop someone from navigating to the folder 
and double clicking on the name of an .exe, or typing it at the Run prompt 
(if the account is allowed to use Run.)
