Obviously sysadmins vary in capability, but in most serious places I've been in:

1. The appropriate registry keys have permissions set so that you
can't just change them.  Yes, the registry has access control,
manageable per-key/folder/etc.
2. The devices will be using full-disk encryption backed by TPM, so if
you try to boot from USB or whatever the hard drive will be
unreadable.
