I want to be able to transfer files from school to home and vice versa, but to do that, the zune software must be running to access the zune. I want/need to have the zune software to run on the computers at school, since i cannot install the program due to lack of admin rights.

It really doesn't matter if it leaves registry info behind, because the IT dept at my school is ok with it, since I will be using it in a tech class. They just reformat each computer after every semester anyway.
The Zune software is not a driver, but it is a media player, such as Windows Media Player. The zune's HDD is locked until you run the Zune software, and therefore the Zune software needs to unlock the HDD for you to be able to transfer files.
