I never use them either. Quicklaunch and Start menu are all I use.

you have to go the full hog though, if they have an ATI or nvidia control pannel applet....

Print screen, flip the image 180 degrees in paint, set as wallpaper, then go to the control panel and flip the screen 180, so the screen is upside down but looks the right way up.

then hide icons, and finally, auto hide the taskbar

hours of fun

Never thought of that aswell, genius **evil laugh**

Used to work in a Little Chef and one of the new guys there was a bit slow. We needed to heat up some milk and he didn't know when it would be hot enough. I told him to nuke it for a minute or so in the industrial microwaves we had then stick his finger in to test it.. He did and ended up with a very burned finger! The manager had a go at me but it was worth it!

C:> shutdown -t 60 -c "You have been found to have porn on this computer, all your files will be deleted in 1 minute"

Alter the timing and comment to your preferences.

Have done that to a few of my housemates with various shortcuts pointing to a batch script or having it run from startup!

I'm sorry I realize that this is a joke and all (at least it better be)

But am I the only one that finds this post in extreme bad taste and wholly inappropriate.

I agree its extremely bad and should be removed. Joke or not, talking about condoning such acts despite other posts from victims in threads and also women who take part in these forums is rather disrespectful.

I had a job at the Coop stacking shelves and a good one was removing the sellotape from the bottom of a box, cue 48 lurpak butters scattered on the shop floor

I'll have to get a screen grab of my Dad's desktop.
He's in 1600 mode and he's got about 2" square free of icons in the middle of the screen.

I have 3 icons, though the recycle bin is the only one that gets used.

I can't stand the look of a icon cluttered screen.
