The great thing is that this should work for almost anybody, including people that keep their computer locked all the time. If you do it right, you can have some fun with this one for a long time. This usually works out better if the other person has a desktop PC, because you can hide the wireless mouse or keyboard receiver behind their PC, and then every so often type an extra letter, or move the mouse slightly. Plug a Wireless USB Mouse / Keyboard Into Their PC You’ll probably want to flip over to the Language Bar tab and set that to hidden as well, so they won’t be able to figure it out easily. Once you’ve done that, use the drop-down above to set the default. Head into Control Panel –> Region and Language –> Keyboards –> Change keyboards, then click the Add button and pick the Dvorak layout (or any other random layout you want). When they type, everything will go haywire. If you really want to screw with somebody without installing anything, just enable the Dvorak alternate keyboard layout that even most geeks aren’t familiar with. Note: on Windows 7 or Vista you’d also need to disable UAC or else they’ll see a prompt. If they are using XP, the effect is nice and dramatic, and you can even have some fun with the shutdown time… on Windows 7 you won’t be able to show off your geek skills quite as well, but they’ll still see something that will confuse them. Shutdown -s -t 1925000 -c “System error: overloaded porn folder” You can change the shutdown time to really far in the future so they won’t lose any work, but mostly so they get the full benefit of your nerd skills. This one is really simple to do-just create a shortcut to shutdown.exe on the desktop, and then change the icon to a regular folder, so when they double-click the folder to see what it might contain, they get a nice system shutdown notice instead. Create a Shutdown Shortcut that Looks like a Folder You’ll probably want to get rid of the Install icon, of course. Then leave an official-looking memo on their desk saying they’ve been upgraded to Linux, and watch them struggle to figure out what on earth they are doing. This one can’t be simpler-just find somebody at work who turns their PC off at night, come in before them, and boot off a Linux Live CD. Whoops! Pretend to Install Linux on a Windows User’s PC with a Live CD What’s really entertaining is that while I was testing this out, I accidentally pranked myself-my AHK scripts are stored in Dropbox and synced across all my PCs, and I’d forgotten about it on my desktop.
