          Well, that's more of a cultural thing that I was not able to change.

          Then the trick is to describe the incident as "as desired", not as a problem.

                How do you prevent users from doing a factory reset of a PC? It's not something I do, or even thought about until now.

                    BIOS password and block booting from external devices and don't put a restore option on the disk.

                      It is pretty hard to protect against users doing stupid things at the hardware level.

                          Unless you know of a way to stop someone from putting a disc into their computer and booting to it, I can't think of any foolproof way.

                            Set the hdd as primary boot device, Lock the BIOS.

                            In saying that, nothing is foolproof to the sufficiently talented fool.

                              Yeah, you could remove the harddrive and install from another device to it and replace it. Huge pain, but could be done.
