See who's doing this? No. But you might be able to prevent it by changing
your passwords (all of them - yours, built-in administrator, etc). Guest
should never be enabled. If Remote Desktop is enabled, turn it off or
disable it in your firewall.

You could shut down and put a BIOS password so someone couldn't boot w/o it,
but even that isn't surefire and won't help you if this is going across the
network.

It's also possible that nobody is doing anything at all, and that there are
other reasons. Difficult to say. Perhaps you shouldn't bring your laptop to
the office any longer if this is becoming a big concern.
