Post ideas or pranks you've pulled.

1) Take a screen shot of someone's desktop. Remove all of their desktop icons (or move them to a folder so they won't completely lose them). Now set the desktop background to the screenshot you just made. Have fun watching as they click and nothing works.

2) Put a batch file/shortcut that shuts the computer down in the 'Startup' folder.

3) Swap the 'm' and 'n' keys on the keyboard (for the inexperienced typist).

Set their screensaver to scroll through a folder of really fucked up pr0n on a 10 minute delay, right before their girlfriend comes by. (We could hear her yell and smack him all the way down the hall)

This thing was awesome:

They never updated it for OS X, though. I had some great fun with it in high school, as our school system used Apple.

that wallpaper thing (jbtilley's #1) sounds pretty funny

another good one is to change the language from American English to something crazy

or on old school computer keyboards you could take off some of the buttons and replace them in other spots...either make the qwerty layout an abcdef... layout or just switch a few tricky letters like T and Y or perhaps C and V

Will that really work? I've never thought of doing that. That would be infuriating.

Set internet explorer to open in full screen. Turn up their speakers all the way. Make this site their homepage:

I like the one where you sneak into someone's office and steal their LCD for your office.

1/10/2006 2:59:55 PM

^^^Yeah, it works. You can skip the stuff in the Startup folder by holding shift while logging in IIRC. That way you can get back on to remove the shutdown shortcut.

or steal Lebron James' chair

I changed a coworker's new mail notificaiton to a file on the shared network file when he left his computer unlocked for a while. right now it yells "brilliant" (from the Guinness commercial) with every new message. When that gets old I can just replace the file with another with the same name

an ex-coworker had a disk that had a batch file that swapped out all the default windows sounds for fart sounds.

everything that happened made the computer fart. New email? Fart. Double Click an icon? Double fart. Exclamation? Fart + Moan.

Luckily I had my headphones plugged in so my co-workers didn't think I was lightin it up next door.

Optional steps for this one include hiding the taskbar and unplugging the keyboard.

hahahaha murder there family

If computers are close enough together, unplug the monitors and plug them into the other CPU. So you will see a windows desktop on the monitor in front of you, but when you move the mouse or type, it will show up on the other monitor.

take off the door from the case and pee on the motherboard.

1/10/2006 8:43:12 PM

^^I did that, and the screen shot thing to various computers right before the newspaper girls came into the lab. They didn't like it.

1/10/2006 8:51:53 PM

heh back in win98 days we put my friends folder theme to the "virtually blind" setting. everything was white text on purple bars (text boxes were black w/yellow writing or something) and about 2 inches tall even in the highest of resolutions. he didnt know shit about comps so he couldnt change it back...good times.

1/10/2006 9:06:20 PM

I took the springs out of the space bar of one of the old comps my parents had. My mom was all screwed up. Kepttypingsentenceslikethis

1/11/2006 11:22:54 AM

hehe. i did the wallpaper thing one time. it was classic. I also did the "opencd.exe" thing as well, making all of the guy's start menu entries point to that.

This one time, in high school, someone changed the image on startup to some devil photo and freaked out the teacher.
