One I used to do was to download a BSOD screenshot into the Mypics folder, then set the screensaver to Picture Slideshow and point it to the Mydocs folder. Make sure the BSOD pic is the only pic in that folder. After a few minutes inactivity, the screensaver kicks in and displays that image. The person going back to his machine thinks it has blue-screened The joke finishes ofc when they move the mouse.

Print off x-amount off printer paper with a very faint watermark of whatever image you wish. Put paper back in to printer tray.

Genius!

That reminds me - back in school, the 6th formers would photocopy their hand dozens of times and tile them on the wall into a mural.

Set auto correct to replace every instance of the word "me" with "#### ******** homo ##### ****** sucking #####". Mind and check that email editor is set to Word.

In college we used to switch monitors around.

I quite like connecting the mouse up to the adjacent computer and placing a small piece of Blu-Tac over the optical sensor. If im really bored then I turn off the PC and flick the PSU switch to '120v' No I would do that!

At uni I edited my mates hostfile so everytime he loaded up his homepage it went to an address that had a picture of an old man gay 3 some. I was going to tell him a day later but he formatted his computer that night

Didn't expect that just changing the mouse buttons would confuse so many people that have been using computers for years.

Guess what happens next

Stupid member of staff that makes the IT engineer use the stairs to fix his "genius" plan gets black listed from facebook, youtube and his top 10 sites in his browsing history.

Swap buttons around on the keyboard
Make a custom windows keyboard layout so the swapped buttons still work correctly
Watch as victim slowly thinks they are going mad
Swap more buttons as time progresses
Try to keep a straight face when they finally come to compare their keyboard to yours

Genius. I know just the person for that one.

I agree there is an urgent need to invent more pranks so they start using their legs

Changing the voltage switch on the back of old PSU's is a barrel of laughs..

I did this once in a moment of idle curiosity after finishing my first ever self build. I wondered if I might save on electricity bills by switching to 120v. I almost **** myself. The fireworks were impressive though.

 

[mranderson]

That's probably why most new PSU's don't have this switch

Set there work laptop homepage to a prank "gay" website, where the homepage has audio of two men making love and the inability to close the screen (need to make sure speakers are turned up)

Done this ages ago to a work colleague, really cant remember what site it was, had the office in tears when said person came back to desk and opened browser
