I work in a computer lab for my university. The computers have all been set up now to require us students to logon to the domain, using our student ids. Our birthday is our password by default, but we can have it changed. When we logon to the workstations we have limited accounts, but whatever we download to that workstation, will save on that workstation - no deepfreeze.

Whatever changes we make on the system will only affect our account, that's the jist of it.

Someone has managed to do a system wide install, so their files and spywares, etc are affecting my productivity. Sure I can just change workstations, but I want to know how this works. I'm gonna get back in there and try to see what's going on.
