Why sugarcoat it? Say what needs to be said and give it some authority. If
possible and applicable, set a policy. Here is my take at it:
"To enhance productivity, the Ministry has established a standard
configuration for office computers. Employees shall not change this
configuration without the assistance of the Technical Support Group.
Downloading screensavers or other software from the Internet is prohibited
without proper authorization. Users who make unauthorized changes to the
standard computer configuration will receive a lower priority for technical
support."
I realize this is a bit wordy. But it establishes the reason for the
standard config, provides as stern warning against tampering, and identifies
a specific consequence of violating the policy.
