Remember if you are going to block students out, you may very well be
blocking yourself out. Plan a back door entry method before using the
switches command.

I had several computers that were shipped with the switches command
active and we needed to get to the DOS prompt before loading Windows.
To make a long story short, we had to install an external floppy drive.

Be careful & learn all the ends & out of the command first.
