Just a word of warning. If you have a PS/2 keyboard and/or mouse, do NOT plug them back in again with the computer turned on. It's OK to pull them out if you are fast enough, but putting them back in stands a good chance of blowing the fuse on your motherboard. FYI ...

Here's another good trick I used to play on clients many years ago. You take a PrintScreen of the person's wallpaper incl. desktop icons, but without the taskbar (you can hide it temporarily while you do this). You paste the PrintScreen into MSPaint, then save it as a Bitmap and use it as your new wallpaper. You then change the Display settings to not show desktop icons. Everything looks the same, but none of the person's desktop icons will work. LOL

Another trick I used to play on people with Windows 95 and 98 was to turn off the GUI boot option so it wouldn't load Windows by default. I then added the following to their AUTOEXEC.BAT file: prompt $_ Invalid System Disk lol

He then proceeded to use his Administrative options (as well he should have) to add a user account with limited access, and NEVER leave the computer with his own account logged in.
