WEP is really insecure anyway. use WPA2. However, what is stopping her
adding a new network in windows as jeff says?

What's stopping her is the Windoze Group Policy Editor found in XP Pro
(not Home). This is commonly used on company issued laptops to
prevent users from screwing around with the settings, installing
software, and trashing the system. The settings can be anything from
permissive to draconian. I deal with a few insurance and banking
customers. Judging by the way the laptops are setup and by the
written policy statements, they do not want their laptops being used
at hot spots, coffee shops, and random wireless connections.

There are some boiler plate templates for security and a Wireless
Security plug-in for the GPE.
