Computer prank idea(s)

[dlf]

Having seen that

I had a thought for a different prank: One that would simulate a dead pixel (and it'd vary the location and color of the pixel, based on the background color), perhaps every couple of minutes multiple (exponentially?). :lol:

 

What sort of monitor and or computer pranks (that aren't dangerous) can/could you come up with?

[PC-NOOB]

The taskbar area in windows just goes blank.

If Keyboards are plugged in behind the computer, such as is often done in schools. Unplug it, but only after rotating the screen upside down. Then, unplug the Ethernet cable. Now they can only control the mouse. If they are a non techie, then they will be stumped for hours to come.

 unplug usb header or unplug sata cable from dvd drive

[JustTooDank]

Put up a bluescreen wallpaper and hide the icons/taskbar.

[ttam]

Prank program that removes the start menu icon

Flip the screen upside down

Set the mouse pointer to always look like the busy/loading icon

Turn on high contrast mode Shift + Alt + Printscreen

Take a screen shot of their desktop, set it as background and move all the icons to a porn folder so they try to click on the fake image icons

After doing the desktop screenshot for wallpaper/hide taskbar & rotate screen bit listed above.

Change the default language to Greek, swap the mouses left and right commands.  Turn on scroll lock for kicks.

[OriginalPromise]

Rename every folder (exclude some system folders. Don't mess up the directory) Back everything up just in case.

Looks like posting on my wallpaper thread has broken this for me... oh well..

 

I had some code laying around that would pop the CD Drive at random...

[Le Lion de Barreras]

Take screenshot of desktop. Hide Icons. Set Screenshot as wallpaper. End Explorer.exe on task bar. Unplug Keyboard from usb. Watch the fun begin.

BSOD screensaver.

 

OR

 

Enable manually initated bluscreens, and map a random key to Ctrl+ScrollLock. Whenever they press that key, Windows crashes.
