Back during the windows 95 days, the bootup splash logo was just a jpg. A buddy at work who was not computer savvy left his computer unlocked over lunch. I went into MS paint, reversed the image and placed it in the whatever boot directory was. I then shut down his computer. He freaked out and thought he'd broken it when he booted it back up. When the IT guy came to fix it, I had to fess up as to what I'd done.

In the 2000/XP days, I learned how to ctrl+alt-direction screens and would walk around the office turnings computers left, right, and upside down when I was bored. Fortunately, I was the help desk, and most the users had a sense of humor.
