Hope you took away every MS office product, the command prompt and notepad
as well, I once enumerated every file and folder on my entire school domain
using MS office and VBA, thats the sorta thing you have to be careful of,
its like putting visual studio on your computers, once you do kiss your
security goodbye, the computer is now in the ownership of anyone who can log
on and code.

Removing ones abilility to view through explorer is pretty useless
especially if you don't revoke traverse permissions.

Of course - moving the temp internet files folder to some bizzare location
may help.,
