Well, that's more of a cultural thing that I was not able to change.
Then the trick is to describe the incident as "as desired", not as a problem.
ah ha, I "see" what you did there!

How do you prevent users from doing a factory reset of a PC? It's not something I do, or even thought about until now.

BIOS password and block booting from external devices and don't put a restore option on the disk.

It is pretty hard to protect against users doing stupid things at the hardware level.

Unless you know of a way to stop someone from putting a disc into their computer and booting to it, I can't think of any foolproof way.

Set the hdd as primary boot device, Lock the BIOS.
