Secure the PC?

This can be interpreted 2 ways:
... Physically (use of the lock slot and security cabling) ... No, I can't
imagine anyone trying to carry or disect a PC here. Should this become a
problem, I'll invest in cable and locks.
... Programmatically to prevent users from changing settings / installing
uninstalling software, etc.


The later end:
1) I run the patron account in LIMITED MODE
2) Almost nothing in START menu (I do keep accessibility features here)
3) All other apps use a desktop link (including some internet shortcuts).
4) I run Centurion's Cornerstone
5) I lock profiles with MS Shared Toolkit

Thanks to all that responded.
Now the next question and this is the interesting one. What are you doing to
secure the PC or are you?
