Ok techno geeks and computer pervs can you please help me understand noooo:
Nothing too technical - I am after all a gerl lol: but simple things
Like why , when I haven't use my computer ( laptop ) for over a week, do I turn it on this morning and all the settings are fecked.
The display properties, the layout of my desktop icons ( which are set up very particulalry to my liking ) etc . I logged off normally .
In Miss D's world of ...if no one ain't touched it then it should be exactly the same reality ....the time it has been left on it's own should have no impact on the bloody thing.
There hasn't been any upgrades of the system either ( if only ::) )
-
The 1st Rule of Geekery is quite clear ~ Shit happens
-
Somebody has fecked with it...? Sinister:
-
No one has access to it while I am away ....It is locked in a special laptop locker of which only I have my key ( why all this security I will never know seeing as it is next to useless - bizarre ) . The best thing about this tho is that my locker noo is 007. Pleases me anyway redface:

Technically speaking, I would surmise that your laptop is exhibiting the syptoms of being lonely and ignored after being imprisoned and deprived of care and attention.
A few hugs and kisses fix most of these problems.
-
I know that that feeling cry:.......I will give it some collapso then ...that is bound to make it feel better whistle:
-
That will probably make it very sticky - is that a good idea?

You could of course use the "Restore" option if you
had a feeling for it feel brave enough whistle:

Too obvious eh? Sorry surrender:

Don't forget I don't have any administration rights to change nuffink evil:
-
Have you tried "Restore"? You may be able to do that ~ after all you had enough rights to customise how it looked before. rubschin:
Pooters do change themselves slightly at every switch on ~ I know this is a fact but I know not why ~ which is one reason for the restore option being there.
Or at least that's what a reasonably friendly (I fed him cake and tea) geek once told me

Quite right too. If we didn't have to contend with "users/abusers", life would be so much simpler.
I like a challenge, but dealing with some users was like enduring a slow lingering death. This especially applies to those in the positions of directors and above - ie those who scream the loudest and claim that the whole company will collapse if they cannot view their porn, access their email (usually from their kids who are gallivanting halfway across the globe), or exchange stupid jokes/videos or arrange their next nookie session with their secretary/PA.
Oh, and spreadsheets are only there for compiling their expense claims.

eeek: eeek: eeek:
You would never catch me abusing the system in such a way angel1
-
Everybody gets caught at some time or another!
-
But you would have to be using the system in such a way in the first place......my work laptop is for work only angel1
My additional monitor however can do what it likes whistle:
-
Such innocence. whistle:
How sweet.
I gave up being surprised at what people had left on their puters/mobiles when they were upgraded or the person left the company. Some things that people think are trivial such as jokey emails/texts (particularly about colleagues) can be seen as very comprising by the management - people are too stupid to delete them and it has cost them their jobs.
Basically, very few people are completely innocent, it's nigh on impossible, especially in these PC times.

I know Tel and I am pulling your leg ...just a little lol:
We did actually have one guy sacked here for inappropriate use of corporate systems . He was caught accessing bestiality sites whilst on night duty and used his credit card to download a porno film starring a donkey ( literally ) not just the normal run of the mill well hung man lol:

We got rid of a guy that left his PC full of bestiality stuff and links... rubschin:
The bizarre thing was his desk was in the middle of the office and the lazy bastard never worked overtime or came in early... Can't really imagine why it was on there... noooo:
-
Strange what floats different people's boats noooo:
-
Maybe it's easier than trying to find a willing woman for some men whistle:
-
Over the years I have never seen a man so ugly that some woman wouldn't ~ mind you the same applies in reverse.
Warm and preferably walking is all the seems to be needed.

Bizarrely I just walked down the road to collect my car from the village garage (?985 but that is another story evil: ) and a donkey started following me... rubschin:

Did it think you were dangling the carrot between your legs again lol:
