I have Two recommendations;
1. The boot from CD option should be enabled/disabled in the BIOS.
Enable "boot from CD" and boot off of a Forensics Boot CD. I recommend
Helix. If the BIOS is password protected, go to 2...
2. Take the hard drive out and use the Forensics CD, or a Linux system
(dd), to make a copy of the disk from another system. Then analyze the
copy. Short of Full Disk encryption, that will circumvent the
third-party software.
Last...Why isn't this "employee" violating any policies? It sounds
like you should take a hard look at your Computer Security Policies...

We have a user who takes a company computer home with them (no its not a lap
top). We have a good reason to need to look at their files. However, we want
to do so without that employ knowing. They seem to know something about
security becasue auto runs is disabled and the workstation is always locked
with a third party software. INserting a U3 drive will not run a program
either. Are there any programs that will boot from a floppy then copy a
program to the c drive then wite an auto start entry into the registry? This
was the only way I can think of to get the user to install a program..
Any other ideas how we maight gain access? It has to be fast (bathroom breaks
ect). I dont have time to load a live cd. Further, robooting would cause the
user to loose work.
