But how could that be? Admin is to posess godlike rights in his realm. Maybe you should reinstall the OS? Sounds nasty, but.. as for me I have to reinstall my WinXP almost every month. Too curious about it's core <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Why you have to reinstall your XP almost every month? I don't have to do that, my is about 6 months installed and i didn't got any problems with performance or configurations and i have a lot of things installed and never used the XP defrag or another defrag at my HD.
Kiya about your problem, the person who stolen the computer can learn about your network using the ip adress and the netmask with this he can discover broadcast adress and some other information - not much danger - just an knowledge about your network - about the passwords - he/she can recover your passwords of emails if the IE was able to keep it and about admin passwords just if some admin was using the machine - if your network is secure as you said, with sure the computer have security policies - what isn't much but make a bit harder to get some informations - depends only how it was implemented.
Like jang said: "to many ifs".
About the steeling thing: Here we have a lot of these troubles too, even more with big people(companys, and others of the business circle).
