Rearrange the cards in the picture file on the poker site preference folder.

This used to be easier on Party where you could just rename a couple of cards.

- If someone is writing a paper with MS word, setup autocorrects to be mean like "the" becomes "teh" or be funny and change "the" to "whore slut". Make sure to add misspelled words to the dictionary to avoid the squiggly lines...

- Plug in a wireless mouse in the back of the computer so that they do not see the usb plug. Then whenever they are about to click something, jiggle the extra mouse.

- We put pictures of our boss on this guys desktop, in kind of like a stalkerish way. We found a few pics of our boss on the internet, made a little collage, then did the option where the picture was tiled several times on the screen. If our boss had seen this, he would have probably thought the guy had a gay crush on him.

- One guy used a screen saver which would show random pictures from his computer. We added some strange ones.

This one's usually v transparent to anyone who's worked in an office but:

Take a screen shot of the desktop then set it as the background. Now turn off all desktop icons and minimize the taskbar. Screen will look exactly the same but when they click something nothing will work.

You should always get in the habit of hitting "Windows+L" everytime you get up from your computer, especially if you have roomates/coworkers.

I had an admin that I installed Landesk on her PC (back in 'the day' when Landesk was basically a remote control bigger POS then it is now)...

Every once in a while, while she was typing service orders, I'd pop in her PC and hit the space bar.

...then...I'd watch her back up and correct the mistake.

...then...I'd hit the space bar.

...then...I'd watch her back up and correct the mistake.

...then...I'd hit the space bar.

...then...I'd watch her back up and correct the mistake.

...then...I'd hit the space bar.

...then...I'd watch her back up and correct the mistake.

...then...eventually...I'd just start pounding on the keyboard.

Right about this time, she starts to freak out and swear at the top of her lungs (small office).




Evidently, this is not found to be funny by the sales manager who has a customer in his office. Who knew?

Yeah....that was her last day, she probably hasn't found a job since and I'm going to hell.

Drag and drop the contents of "My Documents" to the Recycle Bin. Right-click on Recycle Bin and select, "Empty Recycle Bin".

My roomates did this to my laptop. Had no idea what was wrong, but knew something wasn't right. Was pissed off and had no idea how to change it.

take a **** on the keyboard and press it in, it'll be real hard to clean and they'll have to get a new one.

It was hilarious doing it while chatting on ICQ (lol those were the days) and disabling vowels, disabling the space bar etc. My personal favourite was sending them a message "want a drink coaster?" and then opening their CD drive. They had no idea what was going on...
I built a similar program that I would install on friend's computers at LAN parties. When they would sign on to the net it would send a message to my ICQ with their IP, then I could have fun with their computer.

Instead of drink coasters I'd have the message pop up saying "Make love to me" then the CDROM tray would open & close a bunch. It was a lot of fun.

Also, I'd use it at lan parties to have fun with their mouse. They are running along all nice then suddenly they pull out their rocket launcher and shoot at their feet for no reason. I got one guy to start blaming it on magnetic interference from the circuits in the wall next to him.

Also, one time I plugged my friend's speaker into my computer and looped the ICQ startup sound (loud fog horn). He got VERY confused when it persisted while he was rebooting his computer. It took him a good 10 minutes of fog horn to figure it out....

friend at uni did this to his own computer. he changed what letter would come up and then manually swapped all the keys to a completely different order making the keyboard impossible to use except by him as he has learned to touch type on it. Bit of a odd fellow...

Hang the computer from a rope above a pool of computer-eating sharks. Slowly lower the rope while you laugh menacingly.

I laughed.


ctrl + alt + up/down/left/right is always an easy one when someone looks away.


I stopped doing the gay porn background thing when someone walked in when I was trying to find the best gaping butt image to use.
