SERIOUSLY.[/B][/I][/U] [B] HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE COMPUTER PRANKS THREAD VERSION ONE. [/B] This is a thread dedicated to posting funny computer pranks, or telling the stories on your computer pranks. To start, let me give some video's on prank tutorials. [URL="http://www.facepunch.com/#"] [/URL] [URL="http://www.facepunch.com/#"] [/URL] [media][URL]http://youtube.com/watch?v=AYsq4fqbMG8[/URL][/media] [media][URL]http://youtube.com/watch?v=e3XkmpNcSt4[/URL][/media] ^ A small tip on this one, take and drag the start menu/task bar to the bottom of the screen so they cant use it. [media][URL]http://youtube.com/watch?v=D0NHLHnmWm4[/URL][/media] ONE OTHER COOL PRANK: Take and right click on Mozilla Firefox, and choose "Properties". Then, go to where it says "Start In", this is otherwise known as the "Directory". Change the path to something like a saved file of notepad, (C:\Users\Name\Documents\FUCKYOU.txt) You may make the text say anything you wish, for instance "WINDOWS HAS DETECTED A VIRUS, CONNECTION ERROR FROM: (their homepage) Then, every time they use the mozzila shortcut, it will open that text file. [U][I][B]BTW, I fucking hate media tags. I got all the video's working perfectly, then I go to edit the page and they get all fucked up. And now I can't seem to get it to work. Sorry.[/B][/I][/U] Do some pranks, maybe post some videos or your stories. For my story contribution, I used the windows sound changer to change EVERY sound to the "error.wav" and saved it. So every time they clicked, logged on, or even pressed a key, "error.wav" was played.
At school, usually people are dumbasses when it comes to computers here. Thankfully, so is the IT person. When people complain about their comp being slow, I told them to flick the red [PSU] switch. Seriously, I got people to fall for that.
I pointed out the window washer in a dell but that's about it
what was that one prank on the mac that made all the windows and icons fall down?
One time I opened my friend's computer and removed the CPU heatsink, then put everything back and plugged it back in and everything. :downs:
I made a batch script that would continually log out the user when it was executed through the registry, then removed the exe class, disabling him to run any executable. Windows turns into a real lulzfest when it asks you how to run explorer.exe, then logs you out. Did this to a tech in my office, he just wiped out his harddrive and blamed it on a virus.

He/she's a fake!
A while back i was trying to see why alot of people liked VB.Net, so i dipped my feet in it. I had an idea to play a prank on my computer illiterate friend. I made a really simple program that opens notepad and just spams "10101010101010" (etc.) into notepad, i sent it to my friend and told him that it "modifies your computer through notepads connection to the registry so that you will get a million times faster startup". (obviously just mashing terms that he didn't understand to make me sound smart to him). I also told him that he couldn't do anything while it was "modifying" his computer, and he literally couldn't, cause his computer is such shit that if he opened up any other program that his whole computer would freeze and he'd have to restart. I told him it'd take a while, but it was well worth it in the end. So believe it or not, he actually didn't use his computer for 3 days straight because he thought his computer was being "sped up".
This thread has some potential, but add a rule to the OP saying no PSU voltage switch flipping. It's been done too many times to be funny
I used Net Send on XP, to send a fake error message. I'm such a bad ass mothafuka

Bump, I think this thread has potential, and I would like to see it, so if you will, continue.
VNC. Do stuff like "DON'T TOUCH ME!" And scare them into thinking the computer is alive, Best prank I've done.

We were doing an assignment on Remote Support in college, which means [B]remote desktop time![/B] People were trying to do all sorts of things to each other. Someone across the room started looking up "Japanese sex slang" on computer the guy who sits next to me uses. It seems he forgot to close TeamViewer. Tutor was not amused.
Open up DOSbox in fullscreen, and make it look like some scary "your computer is fucked" message, and unplug the keyboard and mouse, but make it look like they are still plugged in.
I have a OS class in college. Later this year we're gonna be fucking around with Linux. Our teacher's plan is to use a dev version of Fedora and to install all the packages to that we can fix a dependency problem or two. Here's what I was thinking. Since we'll install all the packages, we'll also install ssh. So I would simply ssh into some dude's machine (all our boxes use the same password, it's for the teacher's sake) and run a loop that echo's \a and fork it to the background. I would of course remove the pcspkr module from my box.
When someone stayed logged on one of the library computers in my high school, I created a script (don't remember which language) that spammed the rest of their free space on the network with a file filled with garbage with the name "REMEMBER TO LOG OFF" It was approved by the librarian, all the teachers, and 2 of the 3 IT people (the third wanted to expel me for "overloading the network" but I had the principal on my side, so he lost big time. Actually, the principal straight-up told me she really should expel me, but she hated this guy too so she'd let it slide for the last 3 months of high school, meanwhile I'd had that script written for the past 3 YEARS) Real dialogue I'd heard in my English Class: [quote] Student: I tried to save the file, but my network drive was full. Teacher: Why's that? Student: Well, there's some file on there that's huge. Teacher: Why'd you do that? Student: I didn't do that, it appeared by itself! Teacher: Did you remember to log off? Student: ...no. Teacher: It's late. Get it to me by tomorrow or you lose another letter grade. Student: >:| Me: *Trying not to laugh* [/quote] inb4 disruption of school network, destructive, abloogy woogy woo, et cetera
