It's these, control freak, attitudes that made me a contractor.

I have a lot of custom keyboard shortcuts and I use a Spacemouse and a
mouse with custom settings, which makes me a HELL OF A LOT more
productive than I used to be with standard settings!

These settings are defined by user login, so I don't see the big deal in
having several logins in windows.

Sorry for the rant, but this petty stuff is what really stuffs
productivity and makes people that are forced to work for corporate
Nazis stare at the clock with frustration.
