I have an interesting challenge.  Where I work there are strict
government regulations (called HIPAA) protecting the privacy of our
customers.  By company policy, which is designed to conform to those
regulations, there must be no customer data on the computer screen if
there's no one sitting at the computer.  To comply, windows can be
minimized, the screen can be turned off, etc.  I'd like to find a way
to make this automatic, or at least partially so.

But training is perhaps the cheapest approach. And penalties -- institute
a convention establishing voliation policy -- if you can get to
someone's desktop with this data available, they "get" to buy you lunch.
(Or bring in bagels and cream cheese for the whole office.) Encourage
people to catch others out for the free lunch.

If someone complains that they're always buying lunch, you have a nice
clear indication that someone needs additional training...

When I worked for the Dept. of Commerce, we had a little game we played with those who left a terminal logged into their account: We sent an email to them from their own account saying "I'm a bad, bad [boy | girl] because I violated policy and left myself logged in.

This email was cc:'ed to everyone including the department director.

Then we locked their terminal/account with a new password. They had to ask the supervisor admin for the new password.
