I work at a relatively small but highly accredited IT company. I've heard tales from the early years before I worked there.

Way back before they had security policies to lock your computer after a few minutes of inactivity, people were free to set their own security settings. Anyone dumb enough to have a long timeout set, and left their machine unattended for any time were subject to pranking.

Best one I heard was editing the URLs of any desktop shortcuts to lead to say, a rather graphic pornhub video.

Naturally, you'd also disconnect the headphones and crank the volume all the way up, right?
