There are several solutions. I personally also do what Chad N. does;
auto-clean-up after-the-fact.. If they can install it - have at it. Don't
expect it to be there next time you come in.

I see my role in the public eye is to provide a working computer to do what
computers are supposed to do for the people that paid for them.
I just have to make sure it is also working for the next guy that uses it.
This presents some challenges, but so-far it works pretty well.
