Under Windows XP, I noticed that if I disabled my WLAN adapter while logged in as Administrator, I couldn't re-enable it while logged in as Home. So I decided to generally work as Home with the adapter disabled, and when I needed to go online, temporarily plug in an external adapter (possibly limiting my online time using my laptop's battery and/or my bladder). I should note that I'm not doing any of that now, though.

Occasionally I've driven to somewhere where I don't have access to the Internet at all, and sometimes left my laptop home too, but I haven't adopted that as a regular thing; for one thing, I need a separate motivation to get me in the car to begin with.
