PC Pranks

**dushyant87** · January 31st, 2005, 07:48 AM

I don't have any problems with my PC. I just want to know about some applications with which I can play pranks on my friends or relatives. Like for eg. an application which when we open says virus and deletes all the files on the computer. This kind of stuff. Also I would like to know about websites which plays pranks with us. Eg. It says that it will take our snap (pic) and tells us to pose for the pic in front of the monitor and when we click on "Show the Picture", it shows the picture of an animal or something else like a gorilla or anything. Please if you know about such stuff, please let me know. Its Urgent!!! Thank You.

I think there is a way to edit the keyboard layout, you can mess with the keys. Switching vowels will creat massive confusion

Program the auto spell check in Word to replace commonly used words with curse words. Worked great on my old roommate who was trying write a 10 page term paper that was due in the morning. :)

i remember like 5 years ago i found some sites. One would make a little dude pop up from behind windows ar random intervals and you could only dissable it by restarting your computer. IT also had one that stole away your cursor randomly, made your screen shake randomly, and so on and so forth. those were great.

Also if you dont wanna run a program I remember somone on here mentioned taking a screen picture of the desktop with the print screen button, then using it as the background. Once you have it set as your destop background delete all the icons. People will think its frozen and try forever to click those bloody icons.

edit the registry and hide all desktop icons

Remove/Hide all of the icons from the desktop with the following Registry change:

Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies \Explorer
Name: NoDesktop
Data Type: dword
Value: 00000001

A value of 1 hides the desktop icons, and a value of 0 displays them.

playing off of stownplayer's comment, one of my favorite pranks is to take a screenshot of the desktop, make it the wallpaper, and hide all the real icons.

Code up an html file that displays there Computer Hard Drive in a frame and put above the screen in bold lettering the RIAA/MPAA has scanned your PC and found files on this drive that are illegal you should recieve information about your lawsuit soon.

Code up a DOS print txt to screen (very simple just read any guides to C and follow the structure of the hello world .ccp) Instead of using hello world put on there your system has been infected by and undetectable trojan all attempts to remove it will make your hard drive unuseable.

I got hit with a really awful link (from a friend no less) that popped up a screen load of gay scat porn in about a thousand new windows.

On top of that a wave file played, saying "HEY EVERYONE! I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORN!!!!!!!"

... and as nasty as it was, I couldn't be mad. It was funny as hell.

Google "last measure" and you're sure to find something along those lines.

Be careful about what you click on... at least turn your speakers off.
