You could forbid employees to lock their stations. If anyone doesn't follow
the guidelines, then give other employees who need a workstation the right
to hit the reset button on a locked machine.(I wonder if Ctrl-Alt-Delete
will restart a locked computer?). If the employee who locked the computer
against company rules loses work as a result, that's his problem.
