What background and theme? Is this user using that stupid "click on your icon" to log in thing? How about switching him to Ctrl+Alt+Delete. It should just be a solid blue background then. I ~think~ you might be able to change the pre-login background by modifying settings in HKU\.Default\Control Panel\Desktop I remember using that for hacking password changes by changing the screensaver to cmd.exe in there.
