Guys,
YOu might as well get used to it. Most corporate jobs now don't let you do crap. I'm lucky because I'm considered a developer and have been given Admin level rights on my machine, but 99% of the company can't install anything on their machines and have no access to the HD at all. They use roaming profiles and a network share for storing your work files.
On the grounds of privacy. There is none. Every e-mail is scanned and all network traffic is sniffed. There is no secret about it. We like to joke that there are cameras and microphones in the ceilings.
But that is the way things are post 9/11 when you work for a company that is a potential target of malcontents
