There are times when it is far more helpful NOT to help someone.
Especially not the way they want to be helped.

This is one of those times.

You need to be as far from this train wreck as is humanly possible, unless
you have a desire to be a co-defendant in a subsequent lawsuit.
 Seriously.

This is one of the few times that every single person in an NTSYSADMIN
thread has essentially given the same advice.   You would do well to heed
it.

Any assistance you feel compelled to provide to him should be done verbally,
and should consist primarily of, "Here is a person that you can speak to who
might be able to help you..."     If that.
