Stupid DBA trick #32, or how to drive your DBA colleague wild on April
Fool's day:
go over to her machine, and change the name of the SQL*Plus executable
(%ORACLE_HOME%\bin\sqlplusw.exe, plus80w.exe or whatever it is) by
surrounding it with parentheses, e.g. "(sqlplusw).exe" and change the
shortcuts to point to that program. SQL*Net will NOT be happy.
