RE: User Activity Monitoring

["Don Parker" <hydra291 () hotmail com>]

Hi Ed, well you may want to image the laptop and other company computers 
with a management approved baseline of software. Then restrict the 
privileges of the user on that computer ie: they are not allowed to install 
any s/w on it but only use what is presently there. As to employee's copying 
stuff onto computers? Not sure exactly your intent is here buy you may want 
to look into file integrity programs. Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Don
