A company that couldn't afford another software license for an image editing
program could afford a sysadmin/IT Dept. and locked-down computers? That's
incongruent to me, somehow.
Still, I would've badgered/pleaded/bribed the admin(s) into coming over and
installing GIMP for me, rather than use Paint, which sux in comparison.
There's also Paint.NET - though it has fewer features than the GIMP, it's
still far better than Paint.

That's the ordinary workaround. One "clever bypass" is to use a specialized
Linux Live CD to break the Administrator password on the computer. And
before you ask: no, that's not what I would do - most companies would can my
sorry behind for daring to do such a thing. Just since you asked about
"clever bypasses" ;-)
