I'm not an IT person, nor do I play one on TV or lists, but here's a
genuine solution, but not acceptable for folks who feel all computers
HAVE to be connected to everyplace in the universe.
Take the computer off the network. Require your users to transfer
data using removable drives. Whiners can find another machine. Still
have problems with crap on your machine? Water-board your users until
someone 'fesses up.
That's what I do. It's worked fine, and since the time of floppy
disks. Haven't had to water-board anyone yet.
