computer pranks

My favourite thing was making a program that displayed screenshot of the desktop with the task bar and all. It ran full screen with no menu bar, was hidden from the win95 task manager and was in the startup folder, so it looked like the computer was running but nothing was clickable even if you rebooted.
 
-Put a piece of scotch tape over the optical mouse eye...
-If dual monitors switch the order they are presented...

At work my boss uses a laptop which he either takes home or leaves on his desktop over night. He locks it so nobody has access though. We took the backup laptops which only ave a windows password/id not a network ID/pass and switched it with his. He tried logging in two times without any sauccess and was worried about trying ti the third as it will lock him out(if it was the real computer). After he had tried for about 10 times, we finally gave in and switched it back.
-We also wrapped his office walls and windows with christmas paper.

That is not a joke at all, its lame and it constitutes malicious damage. I wouldn't want to go to a LAN party you are going to. What kind of prank is that? Its lame and its not funny in the slightest. What would compel you do a thing like that.

the best thing i ever did was i went into my ms word settings and changed it so that whenever the word "the" was typed it changed to the word monkey. so then my sister went on to type an essay for school. IT WAS THE FUNNIEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN. she was smacking the keyboard and getting really mad. it was a school essay so she said "the" like a million times, so it all the "the" s where replaced with monkey. It was so funny

I traded my AMD K2 400MHz for a P3 Coppermine 900MHz straight up, that was pretty funny.

I also convinced my friend his Dell Inspiron (P3 Tualatin 866MHz) was fried, when infact the video card just needed new drivers (corrupt drivers/no display) Took it home, safe mode and re-install of everything and Bam free laptop. I laughed. But then a friend bought it off me for $100...so the joke was on me. I could have gotten ~$400 on eBay at the time. :(

Thats just stupid, nasty and in theory stealing. I would never do anything like that to a friend.

Well, I imagine that he had the 400Mhz running better than his friend had the 900Mhz running... a lot of people will get a computer so clogged up with junk that it runs so much slower.

If you give someone a computer with lesser hardware, but optimized/configured better, and they are happy with it, I don't see the harm...

That's my justification at least.

EDIT:
Oh, you're talking about the laptop thing... yeah that was kinda slimey... but I probably would have done the same.:o
 
Most people don't touch type, they look at the keys. To screw over some loser at work or school, take a small screwdriver to pry up and switch the "M" and "N" keycaps.

I've done that too. Hilarious.

Tape over the opening where the mouseball would be works well too.
 
That's semi-complicated and involves some work though. The beauty of switching the N and M keys is that the reversed order is a natural reading order so almost nobody thinks anything of it and it's fast and easy.
