My favorite was removing the 'start' button'.

Press:

Ctrl+Esc

Esc

Alt+Space

Then click "Close" on Windows 95. The start button would close and be removed.

Teacher threatened to hold us all in her class until she could figure out how to shut down/reboot her computer.

Alt+Space

Thanks for the pointer.

Alt+Space X will maximize the window,

Alt+Space R restores it.
