Sad thing is I did this to one of our totally and utterly inept sys admins a few years back. Took a screen cap of his desktop, set it as his background, hid his icons and taskbar, then let the hilarity ensue.

Unfortunately I had to go offsite for a call, then when I get back I find out that he had been messing with it FOR TWO HOURS. He was about to format and reinstall his computer when somebody happened by his desk and helped him out.

He was the highest paid person in our department besides our director.

He also doesn't work here anymore (for completely unrelated other reasons)
