Well come on, if it's terminal stupidity, there shouldn't be a need for a ban; the problem should eventually solve itself. 🙂
It's the survivable or infectious stupidity that's the problem.


All the windows being open? It's called multitasking. That doesn't look too bad anyway. His PC has 2GB of RAM and an X2 2.2GHz CPU. Might as well put it to good use.

Christ. You might consider expanding your taskbar to double or triple hieght if you've got the vertical res... It may not help with THAT many windows open, but it should.

I've done a double-height taskbar for a looooong time. First things I do when I set up XP are change the them to Windows Classic, change the start menu to Classic Start Menu, uncheck Group similar taskbar buttons, and uncheck Hide inactive icons. I didn't like much of what Microsoft "improved" with the XP interface. We'll see how Vista goes.

Probably the link is to a certain... program... that allows the viewing of private files 😛

So, he's a stalker, much better than a myspacer 😉

Obviously not...if it were, PAB, Goku, Philippine Mango and many others would get much more than an occasional "vacation"...
I try to keep my stupidity on the "less-than-terminal" level...😉

It's not, he's not even vacationed. Just trying to get his attention. Terminal stupidity is still not reason enough for a ban... yet. (Sigh.)
