If your relative's computer doesn't have a TeamViewer (or similar) client running 24/7, you're a failure and deserve to have your rant privileges revoked.

    I really cba with that.
    Can solve most of their issues through ssh anyways.

    Calling somebody a failure for not wanting your relatives PC to get abused by somebody, since teamviewer is known for that?

    @lotd Good luck "Putting the Facebook icon back on my desktop page" over ssh ;)

    @waitwhat
    $ echo "[Desktop Entry]
    Encoding=UTF-8
    Name=Facebook
    Type=Link
    URL=http://facebook.com
    Icon=facebook.ico" >> ~/.local/share/applications/Facebook.desktop

    $ chmod +x ~/.local/share/applications/Facebook.desktop

    $ ln -s ~/.local/share/applications/Facebook.desktop ~/Desktop/Facebook.desktop

    That will probably do.

    Might need to grab the icon from the web though or just lazy it to text-html ;D

    @lotd Very impressive indeed :) But how would you tackle good old "the thing comes up on my screen and I can't go back so I switch it off"?

    @waitwhat psKill it with a -t ;)

    if it's something that sometimes pops up, i'd monitor & log the processes with psList and manually evaluate and kill the process(es) :p

    if psTools isn't available, taskList & probably Powershell's Invoke-Command + a bit manual scripting :p

    Powershell's Get-Process could probably substitute for taskKill, if it's been disabled...
