If you switch off your own workstations, you won't be able to perform detailed analysis of all the savings being made by switching computers off. You also will not get any work done - proving to your employer(s) that you do not value your job, despite being green.

Disabling AutoRun on flash devices will not make a lot of difference - people still can't help to click on something that says "Click the Button Now!"
