we're not just talking the usual... i lock stuff out to prevent that, the only way to fix it is either reload or by feel... needless to say the labtechs loved me for this little stunt, same went for the printscreen, set as background, remove icons trick... lock out everything except the conventional way (display properties) remote administration didn't work for it when i was done.

ever heard of a proggie called "deep freeze"? rather impressive, took me only a few hours to crack it and be able to change the settings again, much to the frustration of the college ITs...
