Yup, I told people I'm remoting into their box and start doing my thing. Then they proceed to tab to facebook and saw some pretty... interesting pictures.

One of the users actually knew what a shared mbx was and wanted us to grant another user full access and send as permissions! I was happy, 10 second phone call.

"Okay, is anyone around?"
"What? Ummm, no why?"
"Alright, when I tell you to, hit the winterm."
"What?"
"Yeah, they just get stuck sometimes and need a good slap."
"Really?"
"I mean if nothing else, it'll make you feel a bit better?"
"Okay" *thud sound*
*terminate hung process*
"That worked?!?"
"Yup. It may not every time though, so don't hesitate to call again."
"Thanks!"
One of these days, I'll try this out on a customer lol
