Ah, good times. Win95 used to crash so much, that my brother and I became quite adept at resurrecting Explorer by causing a surviving process to trigger it. Eventually, we discovered the infamous "Login? No, just help yourself to the desktop" hack. No one cared, it was normal for stuff to be broken.

Nice. I never saw that one. I used the password rename trick from DOS. You'd think it would cause problems by looking weird. Trick for that was doing it on non-target's machines and leaving software on there to do glitchy stuff in general. People just shrugged and moved on.

And even if it was, there were ways to get anonymous execution through the task manager, or the infamous help-dialog login bypass.
