I think it is certainly the most efficient practice for a new user
to follow the guidelines. I guess your solution has theoretical

install in other places than "My
Documents". Then a workaround is needed.
Angus' reply is essentially similar to that of Herbert. .bst, .cls and
.sty
files are all essentially the same in this regard; they belong in a TeX
tree. If you're not willing to create J:\tex\local (which can be mapped
from C:\Some place that TeX will hate\) then you're making your own
life excessively hard.
An ordinary user can install the files you mention above in C:\texmf ;
but could not manage to install to say, C:\program files\lyx
I didn't realize that you installed TrueCrypt under My Documents
because you had insufficient rights to install it to C:\TrueCrypt
which I guess means you couldn't install Winzip to C:\Winzip
System admins can turn off email and internet browsing but
I hadn't heard of the severe restriction you mention being imposed.
Good luck,
