We used to do this back in the day with Win95.
You could change their shell to Notepad or something, and then that’s all the computer would run.
It was a slightly moar advanced trick than stealing their mouse ball.
@dbtng You mentioned Win95, which have option to configure different shell (it allowed to select between explorer/progman shell)
But it allowed to run something in DOS mode before windows starts by editing some bat file (not sure if it’s exactly autoexec.bat)

@dbtng @gwilikers why not just adding DOOM to autoexec.bat?
Um … because its windows. Really. Almost downvoted you for that.
@dbtng but win95 boots DOS first
Indeed. I guess OP was looking for something besides windows tho …
and I’m just teasing, of course. I’ve got several Linux hosts running right now, but I’m typing on Win11.
