My apology and No it's not funny at all

My grandnephew is visitng and I left the computer on, and also on this web-site. I apologize for the pornographic photo that was briefly up as my icon, thanks to said grandnephew. He thought it was a real scream. I am far less amused than even you are that's for damn sure. I now have to get a pic of my wife's face off my profile. I was in such a hurry to get the pornographic photo off that I clicked on the first thing I saw in my files. Sheesh. NEVER leave a kid unattended with your computer! Martin

It seems you caught it before it caused much of a stir. No worries.

Still, it makes a good case for password protecting your User ID on your computer, doesn't it?

At work we have a little "game"... If we notice that someone walked away from their desk and left their computer unlocked, we sneak over and start sending "interesting" emails to other people.

Loads of fun and helps ensure everyone locks their console before getting up.

(To lock your console, just press[Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Delete] and then select "Lock Workstation". Takes two seconds and saves you loads of problems.)

one time at my old work place, there was a VPs kid who did nothing. He constantly would forget to lock his workstation.

So we were always pulling pranks on him. Once we changed his mouse to a left handed mouse.

Another time a co-worker took a screen shot of his desktop and set it as the desktop picture. then he moved all of the icons to the edge of the screen. It was the funniest thing I have ever experienced at work. (except for translated korean emails)
He sat there for a long time not saying anything, just trying to get the programs to work. He kept double clicking and nothing happened.
He was trying to run some software like napster, so he didn't want to ask us for help. He didn't want to get in trouble.

We do that too. But for ours we generally will send out a firm wide e-mail that says "I" (the poster who did not lock their computer) brought in food and swing by and help yourself. You would think these people never got food unless it was brought in, because all of a sudden you see lines of people forming at the person's office/desk. We had to lay off for a while, because when the firm really did have food brought in, people thought it was a joke and stopped coming to the firm functions. There are only three of us who do it and it has stayed b/w us, so people still don't know the trouble makers, but they have kind of narrowed it down.
