To attempt to answer this question I would say you should install vm ware on your computer, buy a portable hard drive, 
build out a virtual system of your liking, save the files to the portable drive, then just open that system and do with 
it as you like.

As far as your regular and by your I mean your "company's computer", you can install a file monitoring program log 
every access to your computer.

Good afternoon,

I am honestly curious about what a person submitting this type of
request is thinking.
Can you clarify in a way that makes you sound like you aren't what most
administrators are trying to squash?
What makes you think the administrators of the domain should not be able
to administer your PC?

Where does the line "Does the insane know he is insane" come from? No
offence..... :)
