If not, then possibly the best way would be to apply a registry policy to the 
Windows machine and make sure the user of the machine actually only has 'User 
Rights' - this is a more broad general sysadmin topic...

It means the user can use applications to do their job - they don't need, and 
shouldn't be able to modify network, proxy, hard disk or system settings.

Configuring each local user into the "Administrator" group is asking for 
trouble, even if it does mean a little less inconvenience re: ActiveX 
controls and installing new software.

But that doesn't change the fact I still administer networks where everyone 
has a password of "password" <sigh>.... don't worry, the yearly maintenance 
fee makes up for it :)

Cheers,
Gavin.
