Well that's why I suggest Taking it out of the Domain.
Yes it's not EASY
but it's worth it IMO for a PC you don't want someone to @##@$
Especially in a POS configuration.
:)
There are Many Third party programs that cost money, the Microsoft one is
free (At least I think it is)
and it has a lot of granularity. like no use of CD rom no use of Run command
etc.
You can set up a PC that only has 1 Icon on the desktop and that's it
(CTRL-ALT-DEL is disabled even.)
