a friend and i did this to an entire computer room in highschool. plain blue backgrounds, no icons (school standard desktop) and a notepad window in middle of screen.
we did the printscreen thing and made taskbar disappear.... omg so funny when all the nubs can't go look for games or porn (or do schoolwork even... muahaha)
another fun thing if you've got 2 pc's facing away from each other (at a lan perhaps?) is to swap their rat and keyboards over so you are controlling the 'other' pc while it's owner/user watches you do stupid things like mash ctrl+alt+delete (they panic enough when the kb/rat dont respond.... then when it restarts sudenly, muahahaha!)
honestly though comprox if you're bigger than he is just beat his **** and delete all his stuff, then change the password on his account (or disable it, either works well)

I have a solution that might work for those less computer savvy/stupid...
1) Remove all icons from the desktop. 2) Right-click on the taskbar and select "Properties". 3) Uncheck "Auto-hide the taskbar". 4) Uncheck "Lock the taskbar", and hit Apply. 5) Drag the taskbar to the top of the screen. 6) Point and laugh.
With any luck, nobody will be able to realize what's happening. No matter how hard they move the pointer to the bottom of screen, nothing comes up!

I think I have the king of all solutions, only works for temporary storage.
1. Find a game save or document that your brother needs to keep. Something he can live without for a while, but will DEFINETLY need in the future.
2. Zip up your files with said game save or document,. 3. Encrypt the zip file. I hear that zip encryption is crap, so try another program for encryption. 4. Delete the original copies of the save or document from step 1. 5. Tell your brother that his precious files are in the zip as well and he'll get them back when you're done.

Malware is the new industry catchphrase. But the old definitions still stand even though the lines are slightly blurred if not completely erased.
Three main types:
Virus: Malware that requires user interaction to initiate or propogate. Often in the form of an exe or other must-be-clicked file.
Worm: Requires no user interaction for replication. Worms are the most common flaw exploiters
Trojan Horse: allows limited to total control of infected system.
Of course, there are now worms that install trojans, as well as viruses that require very little user interaction and install trojans (or initiate a flaw a worm can exploit) so the term Malware is the new catch-all.
Needless to say, the gubment would not be very happy to find that I am developing software that is designed to cripple part of an OS on its payroll. So I would have to do it at home on my personal equipment.
Okay I have a method that has a 100% chance of working. Put all the files anywhere, then steal the power supply. And quite possibly all the ide cables and maybe the RAM too, just to be sure.
