The “Know Nothing” user is probably the most dangerous user you can have on your network.  This is the person that will always proclaim that they know nothing about computers.  They see doing anything with a computer as being stupid, silly or a waste of time.  But in reality, they know a great deal about the computer, they just choose to hide that knowledge so that they won’t be asked to do work.
This user will normally play with things, break things and cause general mayhem, and when the Admin comes knocking on their door, they’ll look innocent because they “know nothing”.  It is the admin’s job to recognize these people and before you approach management with a complaint about this user, make sure you have all the documentation you need.  If this person begins to be more trouble than they’re worth, start enabling GPO’s on their machine, make it difficult for them to make any changes to their machine that are not directly related to their job.  Normally they won’t bother saying anything because after all, they “know nothing”.
