It's been possible to work around almost all of these. For example, you can use NT's AT command to start up cmd.exe running as LocalSystem, which enables you to bypass all local machine access restrictions. They simply cause an irritating delay.
Is this as seriously un-secure as it sounds? It is this simple to bypass all security features on NT? (This is a serious question - I've got no NT experience but may be having it forced on me soon)
More worryingly is that many people will assume that locking down the user interface actually makes the system secure...
