Protection against rouge use of admin password

[Guest rubberlugs]

I know this may be unethical, but I know for a fact that our network techie

was stupid enough to give the admin password out to someone who shouldn't

have it. I don't believe he would do anything vicious with it like harvest

details etc but he would use it for his gossipy fishwife ways. I feel put in

a hard position, I don't want to be the local snitch and would rather batten

down my hatches so that I am protected. We all leave our machine on overnight

and that's when he would remote in and nosey around. Is there anyway I can

keep this person out of my machine and that idiot of a techie too? I

sometimes remote onto my machine myself for work reasons so don't really want

to start shutting it down at night.

 

Any help given would be appreciated.

You can seize ownership of your folders, then give full access to

yourself and to the System account but to nobody else. The admin

can undo this but the change will be clearly visible. By the way:

Rouge=red (French, pronounced rooj), Rogue=rascal.
