Good point.  Unless you can get away with using fP in kiosk mode in a
touchscreen scenario with no keyboard, where you strip the ability to use
all Windows functionality, all they need is task manager and *poof*.

You can only protect them so far.

My personal philosophy is that if they do it for a month straight after
repeated warnings and incurring admin cleanup costs, fire them and get
someone who will bother to do things as instructed.  This, of course,
assumes a situation in which a user receives training at all.

Hell, they could trip over the power cord.  Same net effect.
