Bah!  You are not anywhere near as offensive as the users that waste my
time with this garbage.  I would much rather participate in verbal tort
/ retort with you than have to rip out somebody's I.E. because they were
downloading Britney Spears screen savers and got their machine hijacked
because 4 security certificates popped up warning them the Active X
control they were being asked to install was a security risk and then
the employee clicks yes on all 4 of them anyway.

No offense taken.  Thanks for the link.

Bonus question:  How many AUP violations were there in the above
paragaph?  :)

No offence was intended.

There are lots of hammers here:

There are also good tools at isatools.org for controlling access.
