administrator-equivalent or Power User-equivalent. That is if you have the authority and the policy to do it.

Applications designed for W9x unfortunately don't require admin privs. Neither do many downloadable apps such as browser plug-ins.

You may want to disable the floppy and / or CD drives in the BIOS settings, then add a BIOS password.
