Well I thought of this one day in my basement and tried it... it worked.... although I'm sure lots of other people have though of it already...


Step 1> Take a screen shot of someones desktop
Step 2> Set it as their background
Step 3> Hide all of their icons, either delete them, or hide them in a folder, etc...
Step 4> Hide task bar by draging it down

Its so funy, they go to click on an icon, and all they do is click the desktop... I love it...


This one got done to me:

First of all, make sure its a public computer place, with row upon row of computers.

Step 1> Find two computers side by side
Step 2> Take the mouse cord from the right machine and put it in the left, leave the mouse by the right machine so it looks like it's still plugged into the right machine
Step 3> Do the same, but reverse the sides, left goes to right, etc

Step 4> Do step 2 and three for each key board.

Its pretty funny when two people sit down and begin controlling the others computer....

In my computer class they do this all the time. It's pretty funny. One day there was a kid clicking on his desktop for a good 5 minutes before the culprit finally burst out laughing.

Sweet... Its so frickin funny... :>

Here is one. I haven't tried it but it could work.

1.Take a screenshot of their desktop.
2.Open note pad and create a simple webpage with the background being the desktop.
3.Use Javascript to make it so that when the click on the body and alert comes up saying they have a virus.
Sample Code


4.Save the file.
5.Open up the file.
6.Turn off EVERYTHING from the browser until it just shows the background picture.
7.Leave the computer alone.

When he comes to his computer pop in there and ask him whats wrong.
Next, ask him if he wants you to get rid of it.

If he says yes then tell him to leave the room and clean up all your dirtywork.

If he says no laugh extremely loudly and tell him what you did.
There ya go.

thats even better.... I actually want to try that now...

That would be very interesting and mighty funny.....

Thank you. You also can use the mighty power of loops and timing to just have random pop-ups appear on his screen. The loop will make it so that it can be stopped, but it would be hilarious.

Yay!

I've just done this:

Step 1> Take a screen shot of someones desktop
Step 2> Set it as their background
Step 3> Hide all of their icons, either delete them, or hide them in a folder, etc...
Step 4> Hide task bar by draging it down

On my brother and he was trying to click the icons for ages. It was hilarious.

Lol, I did that a couple of times a while back. its a really good joke. Nobody expects it. Another joke I did in school a while back was with the netsend command. I would send jokes or funny warning messages to peoples computers. I would scare the people, the message was something like, we have been monitoring and we know you have been accesing restricted sites or something like that, and that they shouldnt move because they were going to come for them. LOL, you should see peoples faces after this, they would close every window and sit and pay attention to the class and act like everything was alright.

This got me in to trouble once, though. A huge goth kid wanted to beat me up, it was really funny because he said he was watching us and that he knew that we had turned his computer off. What this guy did not know is that his computer had the sasser virus and that his computer turned of by itself because of it. I guess he noticed it since he still had the problem and we werent playing with netsend anymore.

I had a couple more jokes, but I cant remember them at the moment, If I do, I will sure be back. The netsend joke does not work on most machines anymore since that command has been disabled with windows updates, its a shame, it was really fun, you could also communicate with friends like if it was a chat almost.

i have a better one this always baffles the school admin at our school, because they don't know what's going on.

what you do is...

our school admin have blocked anything in the way of editing the computer's preferences... command prompt, regedit, right clicking on taskbar and stuff. but one thing they forgot to fix was internet preferences. so what i do is, i go to this wallpaper:
Cool Wallpaper

and i right click, save as desktop background

this works at school

then what i do is end explorer.exe (taskbar, desktop and all of that), leaving only the wallpaper!

then you stand aside and watch the techers puzzle over what happened!

another good one is the old bsd trick

if you have a computer with windows 95 or 98 installed, or know someone who does, then do the following:

-open windows explorer
-type in C:/con/con
be amazed!

that's how simple it is. a three-step blue screen of death.

either this, or you create a webpage which automatically refreshes to this location, such as this one (this is one of my webpages)

enjoy!
