Practical Computer Jokes

Ok...heres my favorite. <br /><br />While co-worker is away from desk..close all applications and move mouse cursor somewhere that is is not noticeable (lower right corner usually hides most of it). Hit Print Screen Button. Open paint and save picture of desktop somewhere. Make wallpaper that picture. Edit registry (or use tweakui utility) to hide desktop items. See how long it take him clicking on the wallpaper trying to open a program.<br /><br />-JustMrWill

Practical Computer Jokes

Got my counterpart yesterday. Changed his default font color to white. It was a killer on Excel. Took the MIS geek 1.3 hours to detect the problem. Anyone know some others? I love watching this guy stumble. He is a riot when he gets frustrated.

Change the mouse settings from one handed to the other. Also change settings for double and single click.<br /><br />BTW-you're evil! I love it.

Get into the word processing .... open the Auto-Correct and change a common word such as THE to auto Correct to DUMB! (or any other choice 4 letter word).<br /><br />This will drive them bonkers when they type.<br /><br />Bob

Put a small post it note on the bottom of your subjets mouse - over the ball or IR thingie... It'll stop it from working. You can put a note on the post it saying something like "Got ya!" for when they flip it over to figure out what is going on.

Re: Practical Computer Jokes

I've done the desktop image as background prank, love that one. Friend of mine called me one night after I worked on his computer " Nothing Works!, ive rebooted like 10 times!"<br /><br />Finally told him what I did and even told him where I moved all his shortcuts too.<br /><br />..My boss was always using my computer, told him to use his.. but mine was in a more convienient spot, He can't touch type, so I put my keys in alphabetical order. He quit using my keyboard, but I had no problem

Re: Practical Computer Jokes

Do you realize the amount of passwords that will be installed in about a week! They will all ba done as a result of this board!<br /><br />Oh did I mention.... that if the person (the target) whom is getting the computer pranks are pulled on will plan their revenge! If they are a "typical non-typist" and look at the keyboard instead of touch typing.... pop off the 2 letters and reverse them. Say B & V or M & N or the period and the comma. If you do a vowel it will be detected too quisckly.<br /><br />Bob

<ctrl-alt><down arrow> is fun on windows 2000. (Hope I remember this right- I don't have a w2k machine to test it on right now) Just do it again with the up arrow to fix.

Re: Practical Computer Jokes

Course, you can always just set the screensaver to come on after 1 minute idle and password it.<br /><br />I once did it to a friend, set his screensaver to text saying "what is the password"...<br /><br />It took him half an hour to figure out that the password was What...
