Don't forget to check for ANY means of running arbitrary files (eg. web
browser, office applications, help files etc. etc.) Also disable the task
list from ctrl-alt-del and all that kind of stuff using policies or the
registry otherwise they can just run explorer and away they go. Oh, and
assume that they can run explorer (or anything else) when setting up your
security, even if you think they can't run explorer. That way, when they
find a way round it, they will still have a hard time finding anything
useful.
