Yuh know ... I'm somewhat technically more competent than most users but,
frankly, in the corporate environment the rules change and locking down
corporate assets so that they work properly all the time is the proper
function of "the business" operations.  You don't let fork lift
truck operators perform modifications on fork lift trucks - you bring in
the appropriate technical expertise to do that.

Ditto for PCs.  I'm at a rather large oil company right now and their
desktops are locked down as tightly as you could possibly imagine.  And
that hasn't stopped me from getting my job done.  As long as the
functionality exists in windows to lock it down in a corporate environment,
you are almost derelict in your duty if you do not do that.
