Practical Computer Jokes

Funny ways to mess people around by using their computers, you should preferably wait until the person is out of the room:

1.Take a screenshot of their desktop, save it and then set it to the background. Then right click on an empty space on the desktop and goto Arrange By > Show Desktop Icons. This should be ticked, by clicking on it, this will hide all the icons but it still looks like the icons are there because of the back drop, its great fun watching them trying to double click something.  To take a screenshot:  Press the "Print Screen" (or "Prt Sc") button on your keyboard, this should be somewhere near the top right-hand corner of the keyboard.  Then go into MS Paint (Start > Programs > Accessories > Paint).  Click the Edit menu, then select Paste.   Then save the file wherever you want it.

2. Move the taskbar to the top or sides of the screen, then shrink it down to its smallest possible size. make sure to then lock the taskbar.

3. Ping off the keys from the keyboard with a pen or a knife or something slim, them rearrange them in a random manner.

4. Put some kind of powder (talcom, baby powder, chalk. whatever) onto the processor and/or the power supply fan. when they start up their computer clouds of smoke will start to rise

5.Put some tape over the floppy drive button, only works for those real simple people though.

6. Replace their Windows start-up sound with a recording that plays 15 minutes of silence, then plays very quiet random sounds every few minutes after that.  It will drive them crazy working out where/why the sounds are coming from.
