[FileNotFound]

If the victim has Windows XP, simply right click on the desktop, go to "Arrange Icons by" and then uncheck "Show Desktop Icons"

On all other OSes do this:


To get rid of the icons:

Go to their desktop.

Select all the icons
Move them into a corner of the screen.
Create a new file.
Move the new file into the opposite corner of the screen.
Select all the files.
Now move the lone file into the opposite corner (accross the screen) - This will move all the other icons OFF the visible area.

Delete the lone file you created and used to drag the files off the screen. (It should be the only visible file)

Things to make sure are off:

Auto arrange.
Allign to grid.

If those are on, the icons will not move off the screen.

To bring back the icons, simply turn one of these settings back on.


BTW: Keep in mind that there is a 99.9% probability that after much cursing the PC will get rebooted and the victim will lose unsaved work. Upon realizing that the PC hadn't actually crashed the said victim might hold you responsible for hours of lost work....so be nice and save all the opened stuff first.
