The easy way to corrupt stuff is just to open the files in notepad of wordpad or whatever and type/delete random stuff. I think he wants to corrupt them because he doesn't want them to open on startup. Just keep in mind that corrupting files like that may give you some ugly error messages.

yah from the sound of this he doesn't want someone to be able to use them on the PC. To prevent reinstalling/downloading use a firewall to block out the sites that provide them

As cromewell said, i dont want the person using the other (pc) computer to use the software.
