I remember a post a while back about ways to mess with a friend's computer. I tried searching for it but i couldnt get anything. Ive seen those programs that network administrators use to remotely control a PC on the network, anyone know if those are difficult to set-up/ use? I figured it would be fun to start opening random programs while hes trying to work. What are some other fun and easy things you all suggest? <

Take a snapshot of his screen. Then, move his toolbar to the top of his screen, hide it, and hide all icons. Then, put the snapshot as the desktop. Set a screen saver as a snapshot of a BSOD. Syuni D'zpecyzczn<

Load up MS Word. Goto the "Auto Correct" section. Pick some words and have MS Word change them on the fly to something else. When I did it I made it so that "I" would get replaced with "I like boys". Did it to a guy at work and he almost sent a fax to his bank with "I like boys" all over the place in it. Childish, but fun.<

Another one I have heard of, but never tried, is to create Scheduled Tasks that randomly open up web pages. You can really let yourself go with that one.<

Put some tape on the mouseball/optical sensor under the mouse. Disconnect the mouse. Swap mouse buttons around (left/right handed). Change keyboard format (french canadian is good). <i></i>

In college some friends once replaced a guy's video card with with an NES cartridge. When he opened the case to see why it wasn't booting up, Dr. Mario met him with a big surprise. <i></i>

There was a screen saver that looked like the computer was going through a BSoD, complete with something like a core dump recovery, etc.<

Just to have fun with my worklead, I installed it on his machine. Since he was not up to par technology wise, I fully expected to hear him go off about it when it went off. Did I mention that this was a PC support area? For the next week I heard nothing, and eventually forgot about it.<

Until I hear him talking to a customer on the phone about the customer's PC doing intermittant BSoDs. I hear him ask, "Have you tried wiggling your mouse? That usually gets it back for me..."<

There are so many ways to screw with a person's computer. You can make it so his Word documents try to load into Excel. You can set it up so his computer randomly logs him out or reboots, but only when he logs onto it with his account. You can setup fake virus notifications. You can set all of the files in his My Documents to randomly "disappear", only to re-appear 30 minutes later.<

Apparently, this does look different on different versions of Windows. Just looked at it on XP, and it looks entirely different from when I pulled the prank on an NT 4 system.<

The gay references are going to get you into trouble if it's traced back to you. They're politically incorrect, yadda, yadda.<

I used to just change the keyboard type so when they type all the letters are wrong. Usually would confuse the hell out of them if they dont know much about computers. You can also switch the mouse buttons. <i></i>

Hmmm what ever happened to that link about the guy that tin foiled his co workers WHOLE cubicle.... computer keyboard chair everything. Now that was some funny shit! <i></i>
