    Some time ago I spend much time trying to protect Windows from local
    administrator and offline tools like CIA commander and NTPasswd.
    The only way I know - is a physically protect desktops or use diskless
    computers with terminals.
    An article about local administrator here:

    Thanks to 3APA3A for hosting.

    And as usual - sorry for my English.
