If this is a company computer. The user shouldn't have third party
blocks on it anyways. Even if the user takes home the computer you
should still be able to gain access to it. What does your policy say
about personal use of a company computer? Most companies have some
sort of policy against non company software installed on the computer.

This should be dealt with through policies and
procedures concerning how systems are managed. At the
very least, I would address it with the user's direct
supervisor or dept. head. If IT has no basis in
organizational policy for control over such systems
and the user's own manager won't reign them in, you
have no legal leg on which to stand. If
organizational policy says that you have the right to
control the config of the machine then, again, you
need to take up your concerns about this user's
behavior with the responsible authority.
