I had a co worker turn my office word and all other apps to different languages.
Took me a few hours to default them all back.. it was hard. He got me pretty good.
So what I did was the following:
1. Go to their computer when you know they are going to be away, MAKE SURE THE MOUSE POINTER IS NOT ON THE SCREEN, Print Screen
2. Delete all desk top icons and hide their task bar at the TOP of the screen (last place they will mouse over to find it)
3. After the desk top is completely empty, set the background to be the screen shot you just took.
What should happen, is they will restart a few times thinking their comp keeps freezing because they can't double click any programs. If they try to bring up Ctrl + Alt + Delete, no programs will be shown as running as well.
You must also disable the windows key:
To disable the Windows key, do the following steps:
- Click Start, click Run, type regedt32, and then click OK.
- On the Windows menu, click HKEY_LOCAL_ MACHINE on Local Machine.
- Click the System\CurrentControlSet\Control folder, and then double-click the Keyboard Layout folder.
- On the Edit menu, click Add Value, type in Scancode Map, click REG_BINARY as the Data Type, and then click OK.
- Type 00000000000000000300000000005BE000005CE000000000 in the Data field, and then click OK.
- Close the Registry Editor and restart the computer.
There are ways they can get around this, but depending on how computer savy they are it should fool them for a bit. Make sure your computer is password protected from this day forward
Edit: I just saw that Shazam beat me to it, I will leave this detailed description up however, including how to disable the windows key so they cant cheat.
