My cube neighbor used to leave his PC unprotected (he hates 
screensavers, and he sometimes forgets to explicitly lock 
the desktop when he walks away).

Another office-mate spent about an hour capturing the first 
fellow's desktop, sizing the image to fill the entire screen, 
moving the Windows tool-bar offscreen (by fiddling with the 
picture controls on his monitor), messing with his Windows 
startup sequence, etc., etc.

As a result, John came in, sat down, and found his PC "frozen".
He didn't realize that he was just clicking on a static image 
of his desktop and his icons and his toolbar.
Darn.
So, he rebooted.
Same thing, again!
It took him a while, but I think he started to catch on when 
somebody was unable to subdue a snort of laughter.
Of course, it was noon by the time he had everything back to 
normal... he had to go find the file containing his desktop 
and icon settings, the files with his startup options, etc., 
and replace all the bogus versions.

Peter finally relented and gave him the list of all that had 
been modified.  John's productivity suffered slightly that 
day, but our manager had a good laugh.  Of course, Peter is 
no longer with us...
