You IT people have a evil streak. But won't the woman just ball out the nearest help desk person? I think if you play with her PC you will get in trouble and some poor old HD mug will end up with the problem.

You can't make someone like you, just let her get on with it. But you should ask her why she is no longer in a managerial role - was it the soft skills she lacked or is she just as unpopular at every level. Then ask her to turn her fan the other way if she is having HRT issues and a build up of excessive persperation you don't want to have to suffer the fall out. Why may want to 'mention' to HR that she is a bit stinky an keeps blowing it to you - not that you are fussed just others have mentioned it so maybe a polite word is in order - she'll be very embarrassed if they call her in!
