Dumb Action Of The Day. I was remotely connected to a server via MS RDP. After all the necessary changes where completed, I had to restart the machine. So, I click start > restart. Well whaddaya know? I restarted my own machine.

:laugh: Normally I restarted another server remotely by accident.

Who wanted to restart his own machine, and ended up restarting the server.

Yeah, I've done that a few times in my lifetime.

I've done that. It's far better than doing it the other way around.

Some remote stupidity on my part: Try to 'restart' the network connection by disabling it and then enabling it. Only disabling it kills the remote desktop session as well :doh:

Not quite related, but my "most stupid" was when I started a Win Explorer search once, and got a dialogue telling me to "Click Cancel to stop the Search", so I clicked Cancel. :eek:

I spend quite a lot of time on Teamviewer (full screen). Go to Home Page AAAARGHHHHH what's this AOL???? And I've done the rebooting trick a few times.

Hi all, I think I may have this beat. Back in Win98 days my work PC was giving me grief. Warm/Cold reboots did nothing. Windows setup was also on the drive so I reinstalled Windows. Nothing. I had a whole bunch of stuff on the drive so I didn't want IT to reimage the machine. Now here's where I went wrong. I listened to my buddy. He says: "At home I've had that happen and I just drop to DOS, wipe C:\windows then reinstall Windows." So I did this, thinking I would reinstall from the Windows setup directory on the drive. After quite few minutes (strange, Windows wasn't that big at the time), the c:\windows directory is now clear, taking with it the c:\windows\CABS directory where the Windows Setup files were kept! :omg: I convinced IT to restore Win98 manually rather than reimage. 2 days later I got my PC back and was told that if I did that again, they'd reimage my PC without allowing me to back anything up! :D Not fun. -EM
