Windows support
I haven't been roped into Windows support in a while but the other day I went over to (e:paul)'s parents to troubleshoot their computer. I forgot how much I hate Windows.
Tony had a CD that had instructions on it to launch the programs via browsing files via the run dialog, circa Windows 95. But when he went into the run box, instead of hitting browse, he hit okay.
It turns out the last command entered in there was to launch the new user dialog. And somehow he managed to create a new account with the same name, overwriting his old profile
Luckily the old profile's data was still on the computer, and I just had to run a system restore back before.
Plus I got a cheese sandwich for my troubles.
