I actually have this as a Log-on screen

I had a lot of fun at LANs by setting this:

as my desktop background (centered) and watching people try to click it. "Hey Krom your PC is locked up."

My brother-in-law once took a screenshot of his desktop, then set the screenshot as his background and deleted almost all of the icons, scooting one or two of them off into the corner where they were barely visible. He also hid the taskbar.

People would sit down at his computer and be like "hey, I can't run anything!" They'd be sitting there clicking on his wallpaper-icons and his wallpaper-start-menu and nothing would work.

What's sad is how often that would fool me. I'd sit down, double-click on something, and then remember that was just the wallpaper.

Me and a bunch of people did that to every computer in a lab once, Lothar, it was considered unuseable fore a whole week

Were their techs that stupid, or just that swamped with work?

Ha!! That was the reason for me getting fired from Jack Henry. The system admin left his machine unlocked and we used a screenshot of his desktop as a background and moved his icons. Fun stuff! Be careful though, lots of A$$holes out there who can't take a joke

Lothar: I did something similar when I was in high school. See, every computer in the school used Novel 4 to manage student accounts. Well, I decided to be sneaky take a screenshot of the logon prompt and set that as the desktop wallpaper (centered of course) on every machine in every lab.

Needless to say, alot of people couldn't "log on" even though they had already logged in.

It was all I could do to contain myself while people were clicking in frustration trying to enter their username and password.

Nobody ever found out I did it of course seeing as I created a hidden admin account to do it, which I deleted afterwards (on a different machine than the one I usually used) so nobody could trace it to me.
