if you read the thread:

1.he complains to dullard about how he cant always figure it out
2. he complains to dullard that his computer isnt fast enough

so less complaining is GOOD for dullard.

Use Group Policy to restrict him from accessing cmd.exe.
And whatever else you want, while you're at it.

Dullard wants him off of the need for support.

dullard does not want to be in need of a job.

Positive suggestions should be provided.

I can't tell you how many times I didn't "move on" until the old was broken. Maybe being completely unable to use the command line is what it will take.

My boss finally switched to 2000 because we migrated our backend to 2000/ActiveDirectory and suddenly his old school User Manager and Server Manager no longer worked.
