Id10T error is a common term used by the IT helpdesk to describe an error on a users confuser.
After repeatedly attempting to help the user fix a confuser glitch, the IT personnel will give up in frustration and claim the error is an “Id 10 T” error and the user needs to contact Microsoft support.

Synonym for PEBKAC, e.g. "The user is being an idiot". Tech-support people passing a problem report to someone higher up the food chain (and presumably better equipped to deal with idiots) may ask the user to convey that there seems to be an I-D-ten-T error. Users never twig.
a user clime that the computer refuse to shutdown .... and there is a message box display "do you want to save changes made to untitled document <yes> <no> "

Error ID10T (A Leet spelling of "Idiot" Pronounced "AI-DEE-TEN-TEE") is a common error reflected in the IT world. It usually involves blaming computer manufactures or others for errors and conditions beyond the company's own control and is a simply nicer way to describe user error without demeaning them. Unless they understand the subtle reference.
What commonly causes this error can range from simply failing to turn the computer on or plugging it in, to deleting an important system file, and oftentimes due to downloading malware and viruses without knowledge of what comes in packaged downloads. (Smileys, Signatures, Email Backgrounds...etc.)

IT Guy: Help Desk, how can I assist you?
Person: Yes, I received an email saying I should delete a file call "rundll32" from my windows directory because it's a virus. Should I be worried? Because my friends have it too. My computer wont start anymore.
IT Guy: Don't panic, its just User Error #ID10T.
Person: ID10T??
IT Guy: Yeah, a faulty condition exists between the logic processing unit and the operational control modules.
