"there is no arrange by penis option"
What was that called already? Can't remember the name!
The website is down.
MUSSSSTAARRRRRRRRRRRD
Leave Heather alone. There’s nothing wrong with this desktop background. Please refrain from remote connecting to her computer in the future.
This is reminiscent of an absolute classic video.
If you are not familiar with a story about penis-arranged icons, I recommend giving it a watch.
If you haven't, please watch the original, full video! It's hilarious from beginning to end...

Is that whats implied here? I thought Heather just went to her Boss to complain and the Boss called IT...

Heather doesn't lock her computer when she walks away. Don't be like Heather.
It sounds far more likely to me that she right-clicked on some image file and picked "Set as desktop background".

And this is why we have a GPO that locks the background to a corporate image.
I think it's nice if people can set their own background picture. They can put a picture of their pets or family members which lowers the stress.
A better policy would be to hire people who can actually do basic things with the thing they'll be working 8 hours a day with.

"Director of Finance"
Probably makes 6 figures but doesn't understand how walpapers work.
Real talk it was probably Heather works under her and asked "hey what do I do when a large picture of mustard appears on my screen" and Director Of Finance said "reboot and if it's still there I'll let so-and-so know from IT, then emailed it off to so-and-so from IT directly instead of entering a ticket
Edit: actually reviewing the screenshot it looks like this email was to the ticketing system so Director of Finance appears to have followed the correct prcoess
This is almost guaranteed to be correct.

Here's my new "you left your computer unlocked" image
My favorite was to screenshot the desktop, set that as the background, then move everything on it to a different folder.

That font in the signature, the fax into, the mustard!!!
... and last but not least, how the icon placement accentuates the natural curves of that mustard bottle ...

Why do webbrowsers, file managers, always have the option "set as your desktop background" in a easy to accidentally click place in the context menu? No, i add it myself to the "backgrounds" folder if i care.
Are you saying you've never been shopping online, saw a shapely bottle of mustard, and then wanted to set it as your desktop background as quickly as possible? Why, it's the next best thing to having a framed photo of the sexy, squeezable condiment with low calories and delectable flavor.

We used to do this stuff to people who would leave their computers open, or flip the screen upside down.
It was a pretty benign way to teach people to lock their damn computers when they left.
I used to take a screenshot of the desktop, set it as the wallpaper. Then hide all the desktop icons and set the taskbar to auto hide.

and of all the amazing mustards available, she had to get stuck with one of the most shitty vinegary last-resort-only option
As a mustard lover, heinz isnt even close to the actual worst one, which is the whole foods brand mustard. Its made with apple cider and it is revolting. The best widely available yellow mustard to just grab in a store is plochman's.

Since this seems like a preventable issue for me, I wanted to disable the Set As Desktop Background… option in Firefox.
That was not as straightforward as I thought it would be:
- Settings: nope
- about:config: nope
- userChrome.css: The Internet, and LLMs tell you yes, but actually nope
What you have to do is create a policies.json file and put that somewhere…
Here is the deeply buried site from Mozilla about that. There you will find where to put it and all the options.
For this problem a short policies.json with the following content is enough:
{
"policies": {
"DisableSetDesktopBackground": true
}
}
Why did I do this in the middle of the night instead of browsing ich_iel or I dunno sleeping. Who knows…
In a corporate environment where you care about such things, you really want to disable the functionality of the user setting the background in the operating system, not in a specific application. Otherwise, you're going to have to track down every application that includes this functionality, figure out how to disable it it in that application, and find a way to apply that change to every PC. (Microsoft's Photos app, for example, can set pictures as either background or lock screen.)
Instead of locking down the the ability to set the wallpaper via Firefox, just set a static image as the wallpaper via GPO. A company logo or something. Then it will apply at every restart.
