Non-destructice hijinks were highly encouraged at my first job. It was a way to encourage people to remember to lock up their computers when they stepped away.

So mouse button settings were often reversed, hotkeys were mapped, desktop backgrounds were modified, and basically every other non-destructive computer prank was pulled.

Open a lot of windows and screenshot it for the new background picture. Was always funny to watch people desperately trying to close all the windows.

My favorite was to take a screenshot of the desktop and set it as the background. Then put all of the icons into a folder. Most people I left the folder on the desktop. The IT guys, the folder was then hidden.

You are the reason I use ls and cd instead of a foss file manager.
