Heh Heh! I do that all the time here at work, and they think I'm a genius! Anything happens, they call me. I'll fiddle around with it a bit to look like I know what I'm doing, then pull the plug. If it restarts nice and clean, then I leave them watching the screen while antivirus does a full 2 hr scan. I warn them to jiggle the mouse every so often so it doesn't go to screensaver and mess up the scan.
