Computer Pranks


Here are two pranks that I pull on my friends often:

1) The Shutdown Shortcut

I'm pretty sure a lot of you know about this, but worth repeating anyway
  1. On your mate's desktop, right click, and create a shortcut
  2. Link the shortcut to "shutdown -s" without the quotes
  3. Name it Internet Explorer
  4. Now that you've created the shortcut, right click it and click properties
  5. Click Change Icon
  6. Browse to Program Files\Internet Explorer
  7. Select iexplore.exe and click OK
  8. Click OK on the Properties Window
  9. You're Done!!

Now wait for them to double click the icon. The results are hilarious!!!

2) Open all icons

This one is quite simple. It works best if your friend's desktop is filled with shortcuts and files. Just press CTRL-A and then Enter on their desktop, and watch what happens when they come back from the bathroom!

My favourite is, take a screendump of someones desktop.

Cut all their icons and put them in a safe place, set the screen dump as their background and minimise the start bar.

Loads of clicking with nothing happening


Change M & N around on their keboard if they still look at the keyboard to type.

On a laptop ctrl+Alt+Up/Left/Right arrow, changes the direction of their screen.



Great fun in the office

Along with b3ta's topten cute kittens lol

To be honest - This has to be my favourite.


Even better when you do it yourself. The best part IMHO is finding the sound clip

Somewhat evil though... Still funny as hell.

And I know something just as funny:



Now my friend is a manager at a restaurant - Imagine what happened when I did this to my friends laptop, while at work, in a restaurant.

He ran out of the office while you could still hear the guns, the best part is he has hooked up the sound system on his laptop to the speakers in the restaurant for the music... It was like Afghan!
Customers were running everywhere, with food flying all over the place.

... I didn't get along with him for quite a while after that though.

Talking

I love the Zip Bomb Of Death. It's a nasty trick which can badly irritate your friend! Mine didn't talk with me for an entire week!

The vid may be fake/ Acted out.

But I know the prank works, from personal experience.
