I found out you can do this:

Connect your Zune, loaded with your music, to your work PC as a guest. This won't erase anything, but you can't copy anything off of it (yet.)

Now, do the HDD hack. Highlight everything on the Zune, and just copy it to your hard drive. This works for some reason in guest mode, and not in regular mode. All of the music will work, and the security will be removed from the folders.

Now, if you would like to take it a step further, and make the Zune the default Zune for that computer, just wipe out the Zune, and add all of the music to the library exactly as you copied it off. All of the formatting/metadata/album art will still be there. When I did this though, I had an issue where only a few of my album covers showed up as black.

Hope this helps.
