Think again because all of the new systems now have the full
restore in a hidden partition on the hard drive that is
accessed on startup with any key press and takes about 10
minutes and it's been that way for nearly a year now.

The best that you can do is educate your users and provide
options like uninstalling the ISP software so that yours
is installed first. If they roll it back, they will also
uninstall their connection.

Even then, they could just reinstall the ISP software and even
if the CD is secured from the kid, they'll just get a copy
from a friend. If the kids is determined enough, you can't stop
them all.
