Stick it in their start up group..

Or if you cant trust them, their login script..

Or id say screw the so-called restriction, and make
them sign an agreement that they are subject to monitoring
with out notice. business use only, bla bla bla.

That's how *any* company I have ever worked for covers
themselves. Its the companies equipment, not the users. They
don't have any say-so. Period. Anything less is irresponsible
on your companies part.

If you want to take that silly concept too an extreme then
you cant even log network traffic, routers or proxies.. which
is totally ludicrous. Thus the 'agreement'

If you want to be kind, they can also just watch for the icon to
change color..then they know they are being watched. Though
I disable the icon totally in my case, as the users DID agree, and
its one less icon in their system tray to be confused about..

Just a disclaimer, I don't spy on users as normally they call Me
wanting help, but worrying about users whining ' they might spy
on me'  is just plain silly. They need to understand the reality
of the situation and get a life.
