    Does anyone have any good pranks to put on your friends computer (not a virus!!!)

    • Here's what I have:
      • Change the Language on Google
      • Invert the Mouse direction (I forgot how, but it was a combination of keys)
      • Replace they're homepage with this SITE
      • Any more? I will add them to this post....
      I'm not quite sure if this should be in Offtopic, but I think it is fine here.

    Well, you could probably turn sleep mode on or something, so when they are working it just shuts off.

    I found a few more...

    Making it High Contrast:
    On a Mac its CMD+OPT+Ctrl+8
    On XP its Left Shift+Left Alt+Prt Screen

    "Making everything go bye-bye:
    Press Control Alt Del and selecting task manager. Select the Process tab. Then click the process Explorer.exe. Click end Process. It will tell you some warning but dont worry as long as they didnt need to save anything you are fine. Everything should go bye bye. Desktop, taskbar and icons. They will more than likley think there computer has crashed or something along those lines.

    If you want to fix it you can simply restart or go to the task manager again. This time select file — New Process and type in explorer.exe. Tada all back"

    You make a screenshot of their desktop, hide the startbar on top, and set the screenshot as the wallpaper. Also, hide all of the desktop icons.

    Make a batch file that loops itself on startup.

    I don't get that last part, but I have done the first one before. Classic.

    Here's more:

    Cracked Screen:
    Steps to do this prank as shown in the video.... (NOTE: Disable your computer'...s screensaver before you preform this prank!)1. Go to www.google.com
    2. Type in "Cracked screen"
    3. Hit enter
    4. Click on the "images" tab at the top of the screen.
    5. Click on the fifth picture from the left of the screen on the top row of pictures.
    6. Click on "See full size image"
    7. Right click the picture and left click "Save Picture As..."
    8. Create a new folder in "My Pictures"
    9. Save the picture to the new file (The picture has to be alone in its own folder for it to work, otherwise when you put the picture on full screen, it will go through a slideshow of all the other pics in the same folder as it)
    10. Go to "My Pictures" and click on the new folder you saved the picture to. Click on the picture and press F11 to make the picture cover the whole screen.
    11. Unplug the mouse and keyboard.

    Invert MOuse Buttons:

    1.) Open up the Control Panel (Start > Control Panel)
    2.) Click on the Mouse Icon.
    3.) Make sure you are on the Buttons tab, and check the box that says "Switch Primary and Secondary Buttons".
    4.) Hit Apply and OK.

    I've played around with one that switchs around the left and right click on the mouse randomly. Yea, mean. Eventually it got so annoying I got rid of it.

    Also, I had one that had a very fast moving window that had about 24 RIDULOUSLY SMALL BUTTONS and only the emphasized one closed it. The solution was CTRL, ALT, Delete. Very, VERY, mean.

    If you hit F8 while the computer is restarting, then F10 at the menu-type thing, you can get to the boot menu and change all of the computers settings, like the boot order so the computer doesn't start right. Not sure if it's really a prank or more like sabotage...

    Lol... I guess that's a little too mean. I don't want to crash anything, just be annoying, like inverting the colors on the scrren, changing left and right clicking, and inverting the up/ down on the mouse...
