All of my clients have a no-tolerance rule, alter the corporate security
protocol, and instant termination. I have a client that terminated a Senior
VP in fact.

If your Admin is worth his weight in salt, he will really have any tools to
do this locked down as well. Just in case, right click on the desktop and
see if you can get to the display properties and change it back. And if you
get caught, don't blame me if your employer cans you.
