My buddy at work has a program that allows you to change the actual keyboard key values in windows on a remote computer - could really create havoc if one of the keys you change is one that he uses for his password . . .

Fake desktop: Open a few windows. Take a screenshot of his entire Windows screen. Set that as the desktop background. Set desktop icons to hidden. Unlock the taskbar and resize it to the smallest size (a few pixels high). Minimize all his windows. Now he's got an image on his screen that looks just like a running computer, but will be completely unresponsive. Change his region/language settings so dates are backwards (DD/MM vs MM/DD). Set his mouse acceleration and/or double-click speed to insanely high or low values. Rename the "My Computer" icon to "Recycle Bin", and vice versa. Change the icons, too, if you have program to do that. Rename various desktop icons in subtle ways. For example, "Network" to "Netwrok". See how long it takes for him to notice. Set the sound properties to make rude sounds on window resize, new mail, etc. Under Internet Properties, change the settings to disable everything. No images, no downloads, no colors. Security, accessibility, and advanced settings all play to this. -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
