Hi Paul, run/services.msc/rpc/properties/recovery tab Change the settings of "First failure", "Second Failure" and "Subsequent Failures" to "Take No Action". Then press "OK". Make sure you patch the rpc dcom flaw. Get him to use kerios personal firewall (best one of the best for windows clients). Tell him about the wonders of linux. Stick partition magic in his drive, chop his HD in half and give him a dual booter until the MS mindset dissolves.
