office pranks - Desktop icon prank

[SasCatBrony]

The only problem is: My brother has a computer with an icon dock.

[mtheis85]

Hahaha! I did this prank to my boss several years ago.

[talfacprez]

I am glad you did this office prank for all the pranksters who knew their way around Windows XP and haven't gotten use to Vista and Windows 7. Thanks!!

[Skavaen]

@talfacprez Its fun to do but be sure to notify the pranky before they send their computer off to a tech to get repairs.

[talfacprez]

@Skavaen Yea you are right.Today I did a Gotcha to one of my employees. Email use is VERY limited at my office, there are a few machine you NEVER do anything but run the programs on them. As operations manager at my office i have total remote access. I caught a guy typing a personal email, i called the office, I asked for the guy, while he was coming to the phone I typed in the email (To a girl he is interested in) "Oh by the way I need to tell you I am gay" and clicked Send.

[Skavaen]

@talfacprez zOMG!!! That is awesome. The girlfriend coworkers did something like that at Futureshop. Some moron put their email address into the demo ipad and never removed it. SO!! the staff decided to go into said persons contacts and find every girl on the list and sent them "I love you" emails and well...pretty much did teh same to the guys but in a "I love you but I am too afraid to tell you cuz I don't know how me being gay would affect our friendship".

[youfillintheblank1]

Dirty bastard! I don't know if my new co-workers would appreciate the funniness of it after the fact.....I'll just egg their car instead! :)

[Skavaen]

@youfillintheblank1 LOL good times! :D

[satajet883]

Ha that would drive me nuts! The green screen is working great!

[Skavaen]

@satajet883 yeah I never thought that putting my computer on the green screen would work that good. Even I am impressed with how the final product looked LOL

[chrilla1980]

I have done that one also and it´s hilarious man when they are going wild with the mouse and tries to click on everything lmao

Awesome that you share it so other can do it and have a sweet laugh bud.

Cheerz

[Skavaen]

@chrilla1980 yeah...we laugh while the person being pranked is going total agro on their PC. Good times for the tech savvy, bad times for techno noobz :D

[DomTheRedNeck]

hey just a tip, If your useing windows 7 (not sure if it works for vista) you can right click on the desktop then click "view" and then click "show desktop icons" it will hide all the desktop icons :D

[Skavaen]

@DomTheRedNeck nice...I knew I forgot something.

[Stokeypower]

Nice!

[RandyDarkshade2]

I've done this one on my family. Great one to pull.

[w1ldyovvnz]

Skavaen instead of deleting the desktop icons right click the desktop(where theres no icons) and select "View" Then uncheck "Show Desktop Icons"

[david121170]

[Skavaen]

@TheNuckingfut thanks man...appreciate it.

[satajet883]

@TheNuckingfut I agree.

[ljrce]

One i like to do is change the start up sound and put it to something freaky and when they start there systems they freak out

[Skavaen]

@ljrce I did that once...I burped like 72 times into a microphone...took all the pauses out so it was just this long drawn out broken sounding throwup like burp....and then I put it on my professors computer for every sound that was on there. turn on computer, I burp, click start, I burp, click control panel...yep you guessed it. It was awesome. Especially cuz he had it plugged into the PA system

[jamiedodd1991]

This is a classic, I've done it so many times.

[TheDjMichaelC]

I did that to my wife Adam and she went crazy because she the computer crashed on her so she told to to fix it and i did right then and there now she wont let me anywhere near her computer lol

[Skavaen]

@TheDjMichaelC LOL I will not be held responsible for any computer bannings due to the pranks shown on YouTube :D

[Skavaen]

@Joebots2008 LOL

[vettet1]

did u do that at ur work and how long did it take for u to tell him

[Skavaen]

@vettet1 nah we can't do that at work because our netstations won't allow us to use wall papers.

[vettet1]

@Skavaen that sucks

[XFantasyBlazerX]

its been always called paint

[Skavaen]

@XFantasyBlazerX for some reason I thought it was called PBrush

[compwiz878]

@Skavaen um if im not mistake it used to be called paint brush way back in the day on windows 3.1 3.11

[aviationkid122]

Haha I know about this one, but rather than deleting the icons, just right click on the desktop, go into view and deselect show icons

[Skavaen]

@aviationkid122 I knew there was something I was missing. 

[DeltaPhi79]

It's been called Paint since like... Windows 95 or 98....

[Skavaen]

@DeltaPhi79 Well now I know...and knowing is half the battle

[DeltaPhi79]

@Skavaen I have something else to ask you. Although this is more of a dirty trick than a friendly prank, have you ever tried making a fake shortcut that opens a batch file to overload the computer's memory and CPU to make it crash? Or just make a fake shortcut?

[WillieWonka928D]

LOL! I'm definitely gonna do this to one of my friends. Not the one that I talked to you about doing the Ethernet cable to, another friend of mine that always uses his computer when he's over there.

[Skavaen]

@WillieWonka928D remember...if possible, video tape it LOL

[TheHondaAbuser]
