So the new guy keeps leaving his desk without locking his workstation...

I did something similar to that once in school. I shared a W2k workstation with another student, and everytime I installed Quake 3, he would UNINSTALL IT (gasp). This angered me. I drilled down to his desktop folder (not private) , and created about 2,000 shortcuts. So when he booted up, his desktop would be filled to the brim with useless shortcuts.
 
I think I'd just set the machine to automatically lock after like 20 seconds.

Keeps it locked whenever he walks away, and also everytime he turns around, answers the phone, reaches for a book, etc. etc.
 
Somewhere around here I've got a bunch of little applets, like the small window that keeps moving away from the curser or the fake BSOD you get every time you try to close this window or the one that says it's reformatting your hard drive.

There was one guy who used to always lock his workstation. One day he didn't. He kept background pictures of babes in bikinis.

I found this pic of Brad Pitt with no shirt from the web and made that his background.

Well, just so happened that on that same day, he had some sales reps from a vendor in. He was in a meeting with them and had forgotten to lock his workstation.

Well, they come out of the meeting and go to his desk to look at some network settings.

I wish I could have seen the look on his face when he sat down and saw Brad in his shirtless glory with all these guys standing around him!!

LOL 🙂 I got a good laugh envisioning that one.

.lnk instead of .exe so nothing complains about missing files!
Oh man, this one is beautiful. However, if you run all of those .bat files, many bad things could occur. I'd stick to .exe files.
 
I always like to change it to High Contrast with Large Fonts.

It used to be funny to change the Win95 explorer to the old 3.1 style. 😀
 
I did this screen saver to someone once:

Stop at the store and get:
KY Jelly
Butt Plug
Playgirl magazine
Corn (ON THE COB!!!)


heh
 
I used to do things like put nekkid chicks on the desktop or send an e-mail to another guy confessing his true love. Every once in a while I would leave the browser on a gay pr0n site.
