Okay. So, I actually stumbled across some of overrestricted installations. I've been in school and the program we were working in just froze and wasn't responding. I wanted to kill it through Task Manager and launch it again - I couldn't because Task Manager was blocked by the system administrator. Instead of restricting what could be viewed in the Task Manager and what processes could be touched with it, they decided to blatantly block it entirely. Task Manager is kinda vital for aid in killing an unresponsive program eating up resources. I do get why they decided to block it, but they actually made more issues, because the only way to get rid of the unresponsive program was a reboot. And sometimes it's painful to do a proper reboot when a program is stuck frozen, so sometimes you have to do a hard reboot, just kill Windows at this point. Task Manager could potentially prevented that from happening.

I remember back when Win XP was just introduced in schools and somehow I'd always manage to crash MS Word somehow and completely lock up the system to the point dragging a window around would draw that window all over the place kinda like the "Stamp tool" in some paint programs. For the first short while, the teacher would go get the IT admin to try and "fix" the crash and throughout each time, I'd suggest just power-cycling the PC. After the first time I'd suggest to the school IT tech, he'd go in to the class and just flip the power-socket switch off and back on again (UK sockets have switches on them BTW unlike USA). That goes against what most were taught to do with a PC at the time even if and when the Admin would advise to do so, thus it were a waste of the Admin's time where he had to interrupt his teaching several times a day and thus the policy changed to: if the computer acts up for any reason, just power-cycle it. If they'd just had task-manager available, that'd been a better solution than power-cycling.

I've seen worse. In a conflict about company data ownership one of the owners wet to the server room at night ripped all disks from our file server wanting to copy over the data to their own servers. They forgot all disks were part of a RAID system and the raid only works with a specific RAID card and the disks in specific RAID drive bays. When they realized that they could not read any usable data from the disks they put the disks back into the bays in random order. Well, we had no working file server the next morning. My superior hired a senior ICT consultant to fix it. But they were not able to restore. Then they left the system to me (Junior PC admin). I made a matrix with all possible combinations of slots and disks and tried all different orders until I found the original configuration. System booted without problems. Yes, there were backups, but there were no systems to rebuild them to in any reasonable time period.

Early Windows NT versions had some rather annoying defaults for ordinary users if you didn't at least have Power User authority. One in particular restricted you from changing the time and date, which may have been OK for version 3.x, but in 4.0 that had the side effect you couldn't even bring up the handy calendar when you double clicked in the lower right corner (which is often what people used that for, rather than to modify date or time.) Also, Guest accounts on NT 3.x couldn't even change the screen resolution, but at least 4.0 allowed it.

The recycle bin? Do the files get directly deleted or can't delete stuff?

What if you (the user) had to sign in to a domain account, not a local one, and the admin(s) had domain admin accounts. Could they disable the local admin account completely, remove password, so it cannot be logged into, delete all other local accounts, and _then_ do this to brick it? You wouldn't even be able to do the safe mode trick because you can't log into domain accounts in safe mode (unless safe mode with networking does? I don't know if that's possible tho)... how would you fix _that_ ? Bonus points: there are critical files on the disk but it's encrypted so you can't wipe it or put the drive in another computer to get the data

If there are no accounts on the PC, you can boot into cmd prompt without a password.

@@wheeI Oh, I guess that makes sense... what if the guest account was enabled but nothing else? It has really low permissions and most certainly not admin access...

When your admin disables the taskbar settings button, but allows the settings app to be used and from there to navigate to taskbar settings. Good though, the default settings hide labels and combine buttons on both taskbars (2 displays), and show all active programs, which is horribly inefficient to me.
