        When I was in highschool we edited that file in the programming lab. Wrote an auto running batch file to replace it when the floppy disk was inserted and managed to sneak the disk into every machine without the teacher noticing. The computers where arranged around three walls of the room, and we knew that his standard procedure at the end of the day was to go to each one and issue the shutdown command, then circle back around to power them down. That afternoon when he turned around he must have been greeted with his own employee ID photo grinning back at him around the room in 16 color bitmap glory.

        The next day he sternly waved us over the moment we walked in, then just laughed, said “put it back,” and waved us away. He never bothered to even ask how we got ahold of his employee photo from the school network.
