How to Prevent Executables/Programs from Running from Unapproved File Paths

I wasn't clear enough. You have two problems
1) You don't want people to modify the system / install programs - Guest account solves this part
2) You want to restrict execution of specific programs - Need Applocker for this

I now have Windows 11 Pro (thank you, @antspants). How would I use AppLocker to restrict programs? Like I said in my original post, the guest should be able to run programs from "C:\Program Files", but I don't want them running programs from, for example, "C:\Users\Guest\Downloads".

Thank you all for your help.

An updte to the StackSocial Windows 11 Pro License

I contacted StackSocial and put it to them that the only way the results of trying to use their key showed that it didn’t work, was that they are selling Volume Licensing Keys.

They replied:

We understand what you mean.

We are sorry things did not work out with your order. We have been authorized to issue you a refund for the full amount of the purchase price.

“We understand what you mean” is a little ambiguous. In relation to the questions I posed, that’s obviously the closest thing one will get to “Yes we sell volume licensing keys”

So I have a refund pending and regardless of the first attempt, bought another key from them the next day. This time the new key worked.

I believe @win11homeuser still needs help?

Yes, I do. I've been searching online on tutorials of how to use AppLocker (as suggested by @neemobeer and @garlin), but the results didn't help.
