Protection against rouge use of admin password

[rubberlugs]

I know this may be unethical, but I know for a fact that our network techie
was stupid enough to give the admin password out to someone who shouldn't
have it. I don't believe he would do anything vicious with it like harvest
details etc but he would use it for his gossipy fishwife ways. I feel put in
a hard position, I don't want to be the local snitch and would rather batten
down my hatches so that I am protected. We all leave our machine on overnight
and that's when he would remote in and nosey around. Is there anyway I can
keep this person out of my machine and that idiot of a techie too? I
sometimes remote onto my machine myself for work reasons so don't really want
to start shutting it down at night.

Any help given would be appreciated.

You can seize ownership of your folders, then give full access to
yourself and to the System account but to nobody else. The admin
can undo this but the change will be clearly visible. By the way:
Rouge=red (French, pronounced rooj), Rogue=rascal.
