Nice and organized. I HATE a cluttered desktop. My 5 y/o moved all my short cuts around once. That's a GREAT way to make daddy twitch.:bonk:

Follow these steps....
  1. Take a screen capture of his desktop.
  2. Save this image somewhere.
  3. Delete all icons from desktop.
  4. Set the above saved image as the desktop background.
This will drive him nuts because all the icons will look like they are there, but they won't do a damn thing when clicked on because it's just the background picture.

I would suggest chaning step three from deleting icons to moving them to another folder. Then it will be a whole lot easier to restore after the joke. Just highlight them all and create a dir named desktop_backup and move them all there with a cut and paste.

This is one of the best ways to drive someoone crazy. I would recommend instead of moving the icons, or deleting them you can just right click on the background and remove the check from show desktop icons in the view menu. They will come back exactly as they were when you put the check back.

If the start bar is unlocked (right click then unlock) you can also grab the top of it and drag it down a bit smaller. That way when someone clicks on the start button they are actually just clicking on the "new" background...
