The *technical* part of your problem has already been solved by
others, so I won't reply it here. However, the real problem isn't
technical, is it? Sorry, but I really have to ask:
you can _not_ install new (=unknown, unauthorized, unsafe...) programs
on that computer, but you can _run_ the same new (=unknown,
unauthorized, unsafe...) programs on the same computer, just because
they are on a thumb drive? Or, for that matter, your admin access to
your office computer is restricted, but you _can_ attach a thumb drive
to it?
I don't meant to be offensive, really. Just curious to know what the
computer security and usage policies are in other workplaces (not that
myne is perfect, far from it).
Ciao,
Marco
