Right, team. Here's the situation.

I need to mess with somebody's computer, a sort of practical joke. I don't want to do anything really bad like put goatse as the background or give them a virus, but I just want to mess with them a bit...

Anybody have any ideas?
 
you could do the ole wallpaper trick , where you replace their wallpaper with a sceenshot and then hide the taskbar ?.
 
Damn beaten to it heh.

Dont forget to delete their icons though, or put them in a new folder or something, the screenshot will show the icons as still there but they cant click on it of course.

Also set a background of a cracked screen and do the hide icons option by right clicking on the desktop, atleast i think its there somewhere. Hide the taskbar.
 
I might try that, but I think there's a good chance they would see through it.

simple one:

take screenshot of his desktop ..put all of his icons in a folder ..switch is current destop image with the screenshot you took of his desktop ..watch from safe distance as he tries to click on icons on his destop, hilarity ensues
 
This is the classic.

-Take a screenshot of their desktop
-Make a funny alternative desktop (or fake bluescreen for example) at same resolution.

Put these two as a windows slideshow that is stopped and has been made fullscreen (so that it stays on the first desktop image)

-When the click on something it will switch to the next image in the slideshow, be it a fake bluescreen or whatever.

I did this to a mate at a network i had fake virus screen, then a fake bluescreen then 'gavin is gay' haha it worked a treat.

You could have this AS WELL as making the desktop and hiding icons double whammy!
 
Go to the Control Panel, Mouse Properties and check the box that says, "Switch primary and secondary buttons".
 
Child pornography.

I'm talking, like... terabytes. Buy him a new hard drive if you have to.
 
Operational's idea made me laugh the most. That's just evil.
Something else on the same lines is go into their keyboard properties, and make key repeat come on as soon as possible, and repeat as fast as possible.
 
Invert all the mouse movement via the control panel.
 
Do a combination of things.

One thing you can add to the mix is turning the monitor refresh rate down to something ridiculously low, like 43 Hertz, interlaced.

Change the windows Color Scheme to something impossible to see or obnoxiously annoying, in combination with other things.

One sec. I'm providing an example.

It's ridiculously annoying trying to get this reverted back to something normal... because you cannot see shit.
 
Here's a novel thought: leave their computer alone. Messing with someone's computer is tantamount to fucking them in the ear; you just don't do it.

If you do, you better hope you can take this person in a fight, and/or that they never find out its you. You might get rolled, and not in the meme meaning of the word.
 
EDIT: WTF!

I hit reply instead of edit? GOD DAMMIT.

Double post, sorry.

I'm disappointed in you...

Yeah, change their color scheme like that. Be prepared to be rolled though like Darkside said.

I'm disappointed in your double posts!

And also, I'm a mean guy, I'll do some terrible shit, but messing with another person's computer? That's off the evil scale even in my book.

I didn't mean to double post. GRRRR.
 
Well you did, and now look what happened.

I will ask though, Jangle: what's the reason behind this pranking?
 
This reminds me of a story, and I apologize ahead of time for my digression:

Once upon a time in the small suburban town in South-Eastern Wisconsin lived an arrogant douchebag whom I will simply refer to as 'E'. E bragged constantly about his 'feats' of smoking pot with beautiful women, having "insane" kill/death ratios in Counter-Strike and was prone to use racial slurs at the turn of a handle. He was the quintessential suburban headcase and made sure everyone knew it. One fateful evening E left his computer on at the local Lan Party - forgetting to setup a password; "I need a quick smoke" he would say, the time to strike was nigh. Needless to say within minutes we all swept in like a flock of hungering ravens persuing the rotting corpse of a gazelle.

I acted first, and quick - installing Bonzai buddy so that he would never be without assistance while making online purchases. Next we opened up upwards of 50 instances of internet explorer, all directed towards meatspin. J thought it would be funny to do the desktop trick, and immediately found top quality fettish poo-pr0n to affix to his poor PC's unsuspecting background.

Within a few minutes E returned, bragging about how incredibly "chopped" he was off of that last "doobie". Returning to his PC and turning on his monitor he was so incredibly stricken with frustration that he threw his mouse across the room (E, you see, is quite prone to angry outbursts). He created quite the scene and began pointing fingers every which way.

Everyone has a story of PC harassment, be it on the receiving or god forbid the giving end. E never did quite recover from having his PC so brutally assraped.

Disclaimer: I know what we did was wrong, god save this world from the antics of an adolescent male on the cusp of puberty. I'd like to say I've since matured somewhat since then - but regret is certainly not a part of the maturization of that particular memory - and it likely never will be.

It's nothing major, one of my friends is always just messing with my stuff when I'm not there, moving it around etc. I'm not really angry at him, it's just getting a bit annoying so I thought I'd teach him a lesson.

And don't worry, he's able to take a joke.
 
Oh man, why didn't this thread come up on april 1st? I had access to change everyone's wall paper in the office with a couple mouse clicks. After doing this I would have called in sick :p. This wallpaper idea is great, I can't believe I never thought about it.
 
That last one was a joke, guys. Have at it to your heart's content.




I got dibs on your stereo though.
 
Use a pen to pry the keys off the keyboard and switch them around randomly.

That will be disastrous to the hunt and peckers... but for people who can type without looking, it won't stop them. Heh.

But oh god, the look on the faces of those hunt and peck people!



Nobody likes my idea? I guess it's too evil.

EDIT: WTF new page again. /refrains from double posting.
 
Don't change many, just a few. Like M and N. Or G and H. Y and U.

Yeah, they won't be able to figure anything out.
 
Remove his video card heatsink/fan. Wait, nevermind, that would fry his video card and do irreversible damage to an essential component - don't do that.

How about just changing his background to gay porn and calling it a day?
 
You're forgetting this is the internet. We're subjected to gay porn every minute of every hour of every day. Who does gay porn phase anymore? Really, show of hands?

Jangle and his pals don't seem as internet-jaded as you or I, but I could have entire misjudged the entire circumstance. Also, I completely made that up based on the no-information-whatsoever I have about Jangle and his friends.

I was under the impression gay porn was timeless. How could I have been so foolish? :(

Damn, I don't know which internet you're browsing. Site's like you need to change your bookmarks around ;).
 
I can't say I'm shocked by images of men bumming each other anymore. When I stumble upon this my thought process is pretty much: "oh the joy of internets" with a grin on my face *clicks away*

Haha, I don't think I'm completely immune to gay porn, but some of my friends are. One time we changed this guy's background to goatse and he didn't do anything.

He just stared at it.

I can safely say that I'm 100% immune to goatse in all forms. In fact, I embrace and 'lol' at it now. I'm quite positive that this is most likely a bad thing.

Take for instance if I suddenly fall victim to a homeless man hellbelt on stalking me and exposing the inside of his anus to me, repeatedly. Instead of calling the police, chances are I'd just sit there laughing. On the grand scope of all the gross-out and immoral grit that lines the bowels of the internet - Goatse is merely childish fun, a lighthearted joke, really.
