My helpdesk fun went like this today:

Me: My remote desktop got messed up and rebuilt itself. I need to recover yesterday's profile.
Helpdesk: OK, I'll put a ticket in to rebuild it.
Me: No, I need it restored, not rebuilt again.
Helpdesk: Yes, I'll send in a ticket and they'll rebuild your profile.

I've used the free DeskTopOK utility for years -- really saved my behind a few times. It can save or restore the desktop layout on demand. Very handy when I rotate my display to Portrait mode then back to Landscape.

I don't have any control over the computer's environment.

Today's fun discovery when I logged in this morning:

Sysadmin: Let's do a complete re-image of people's computers and bury the announcement in a corporate email that nobody reads so that they don't know to back everything up. Everything will be deleted - files, profile settings, bookmarks, etc. Yeah! That will be fun.

I'm starting on a new project in a different location (including different admins, computers, etc.) on Monday. Seems fitting that this group should inflict one last injustice before I leave.

EDIT:
One of my co-workers got his profile back this morning so maybe mine will come back eventually.

Once upon a time when you could still run "CMD" on a Windoze box its was no end of fun starting CMD in fullscreen, enter "debug", issuing 'u' or 'd' a cpl of times then pressing Ctrl+Alt+Left Arrow (so the screen got turned on it's side and then ask some new "sysadmin" for help and watch them panic.

EDIT: Looking back at it I must've been really really bored.
