computer prank-5

This next one takes some time to set up, but it’s good.  The first step is to set up the victim’s desktop with a program or two open.  Then take a “snapshot” of the desktop by pressing the Print Screen button.  Open any graphic editor (like MS Paint) and paste your artwork in.  Save your picture as a BMP or JPG file.  Close all programs, including the graphic editor, then open Display Properties, and choose the Desktop tab.  Change the wallpaper to the file you just created.  Voila!  The desktop looks like a few programs are running, but when the victim tries to close the programs, nothing will happen – it’s just a picture.

Is your friend a hunt-and-peck typist?  Carefully pry a few keys off the keyboard and swap them.  For an even better trick, dig out an old keyboard, change all the keys, and swap that one for your friend’s (use some excuse about spilling coffee).
Speaking of creating havoc, there is a program called Remote Havoc that lets you take control of parts of someone else’s computer.  You have to install the program on both computers, but once installed you can do silly things like make the start menu or dialog boxes pop open.  There is a fairly limited free version, but for $1.50 you get to unlock all the devious goodies.

The keyboard, too, can create computer havoc.  Go to regional settings in the control panel and change the keyboard layout to another language or layout.  Be careful though, this could cause problems if your intended victim has a password.

computer prank -2

My favorite prank involves nothing more than a little piece of tape and a few seconds of time.  You don’t have to know anything about computers.  Just flip the victim’s mouse over and put the tape over the mouse-ball or the optical sensor (the red light that will try to blind you).  The mouse will feel the same, but the cursor won’t move.
Another mouse trick is to swap the buttons so a right-click is a left-click and visa versa.  To do this, go to the control panel, look for the mouse properties, and have fun.  Depending on which mouse and which drivers are installed, you might be able to swap only the buttons, or you might be able to customize further.

I thought I’d share some harmless computer pranks with you.  Although these pranks will not permanently disable the computer, it’s possible the recipient may not take kindly to your humorous intentions.  So if somebody gets mad at you, or pummels their computer into a lump of smoking electronics, it’s not my fault.
The point of any good April Fool’s Day prank is to be there to laugh at the victim.  It is also a good idea to be there to undo your mischief.  Don’t meddle with someone’s computer and then go on vacation.  Be a pal, undo what you did and take the deserved retaliation with good humor.

Fake warning message

Fake warning message

Ok first we will start with the easy one, the fake warning message.
This is how to do it:

2.Type this in
@echo off
msg * Warning your computer has detected a virus.
msg * To remove the virus click OK or close this box
msg * Your Hard drives are now being formatted
msg * Please wait ...........
msg * APRIL FOOLS

3.Save the file as April-fools.BAT
4.Right click on the file and press hidden
5.Go to folder options and click show hidden files
6.Cut the file and place it in the victims Start up folder in the start menu
7.Go back to folder options and click do not show hidden files.

Now what each of the lines you typed in done:
@echo off << this runs the commands in the background so the victim will not see any codes
msg * <<this commands the computer to show a message
msg * hahahah <<this is what the message will display

The results
when the victim starts up there computer the first message will appear, when they click OK the next one will appear and make the victim think there hard drive is being formatted until they get the last message saying APRIL FOOLS.

Windows XP or Vista prank

Looking to play a harmless Windows XP or Vista prank on your friend? Here's a little trick you can do. These three pranks may confuse your friend. The first one makes him believe his computer is frozen. The second one will make him stare at a completely blank screen even though Windows is active. The third prank will make your friend think their computer has crashed with the blue screen of death.
The first trick involves taking a screen shot of their current desktop and replacing their background image (wallpaper) with it. Both tricks involve hiding the desktop icons. When they attempt to left-click on anything, nothing will appear to happen. The second trick will also make right-clicks seem futile.
