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.
