You should be able to set this up through the BIOS settings you install prior
to the boot up of your computer.  A line should read in which order the drives
should be accessed for system boot-up.  Usually reads A:,C: or some similar
combination.  By reassigning the A: and C: drives (C:,A:) or just removing the
A: drive specification altogether, you could force a boot from the C: drive.

Of course, if the security measures are against computer-wizards, they can just
as easily change it back.  At worst, you could disable the floppy drives by
disconnecting it from the controller card (of course that defeats the purpose
of having floppies, but if security is already that bad....)
