Anyone can make changes to the way the desktop looks. All you need to do is hack the explorer.exe file and change the settings. It’s a binary, so it’s easy to unpack and edit. Just copy and rename it, open and edit the copy, save it with the new name. Then go to the registry and change the key to reflect the new file name.
True, but how many average computer users will know how to do something like that? Most people don't even know what explorer.exe is. So typically only your advanced users will attempt to hack an .exe and then edit the registry; which I do on a regular basis.

They were armed. With guns, said Omari.
Canadians. With guns. And a warship. What is this world coming to?
