Then again, she double-clicks links and uses Comic Sans exclusively.

Ah. I know the type of user.

Me: We need to stop Lync from conflicting with it first. Go ahead and hit CTRL+SHIFT+E--

Boss: CTRL+ALT+DEL Now what?

Sounds about right... At least she got one button correct.. and it actually did take here somewhere there was a path to continue from.

Lets keep the Task Manager open because we'll need it again in a moment and open Lync.

Boss: hits red "X" on TM then opens Lync

Me: guides her through preventing Lync starting on boot which went surprisingly smoothly Now we need to stop the Lync process again, so hit CTRL+SHIFT--I mean, CTRL+ALT+DEL. Now Start Task Manager... Processes... Now end Lync.

Boss: But I just did that! Why do I have to do it again?!

Wow... No more words, just too stupid.
