Well, I am a BOFH, you know. Letting him find out the hard way was the easiest way to get rid of the git, especially when you consider that the tech he connects to when he calls back to clean up his mess won't be anywhere near as experienced or skilled as I was.
Many years ago I was tasked repeatedly to fix someone's PC who couldn't be convinced to stop doing foolish things. The last time I had an audience as I worked, and a PC with at least three major problems, along with the usual plethora of viruses/malware,etc.
One complaint was that for a brief moment after every boot that a full screen picture of two naked hairy men appeared on screen. 'Twas an easy fix, but since all the other fixes required many reboots along the way, and I had an audience, I left that till last.
