When I was in High School in 2003 I discovered you could pretty easily get around the tool that blocked running installers by launching them by entering the full path to the installer in the address bar of Internet Explorer. This was before Windows and IE were decoupled. I installed VNC server on a couple friends computers and used it for some light hearted pranks, but didn't do anything else with it.
One of my friends who I did this to went crazy with it and used it to mess with his teachers computers. Ended up in huge trouble, cops knocking on his door, and I believe probation. This was the year after I graduated.
On the one hand, I kind of feel responsible for showing him, on the other hand, it's his fault he had to go off and be an idiot with something I just thought was fun.
