Just this morning...

Colleague having a problem with his WinXP desktop in failed 'active desktop' mode.

Cue email from our Technical Architect, detailing the 'fix', requiring hacking of the system registry & reboot.

Me: Show me the problem.

Colleague: <click. click. click. click>

M: You realise you can minimise all your windows by clicking there? (icon on quickstart bar)

C: <click>

M: Click on the desktop.

C: <right-click>

M: No... *click* on the desktop. Not, right-click on the desktop.

C: <click>

M: <hits F5 on keyboard>

<screen is restored. Icons reappear>

Colleagues: What did you do?

M: Is this were I do my Fonzie impression?

Etymotic ER4p FTW.
