This just reminded me of a thing from my high school (many years ago). They had windows machines that were somewhat locked down, but I discovered a trivial way to bypass the restrictions on changing the desktop wallpaper. So naturally I set the background image to a screenshot of the desktop, and then hid all the actual icons.
On another timeline, the staff would have approached this with “Huh that’s clever. You fooled us and we thought the computer was broken. Please don’t do that, but also let’s channel your creativity somewhere useful.”
Instead I got a monologue about breaking things and was banned from the computer lab for a week. Soured me on school and such for a while.
