    I did that once. They were not happy...

     

    By far my favorite prank was making a batch file combined with some visual basic to keep the command prompt from showing on screen. The file would run windows media player on a rick-roll file, killed explorer, and monitored and killed any instance of task manager one tried to start. At that point you pretty much had to restart to turn it off.

     

    Unfortunately I could never put it to use, and no longer have it. :/

     Lol

     

    I remember writing the following program and puting it in the Startup folder

     

    Do

    msgbox "Close This!" ,4096+16, ""

    loop

     

     

    translate:

    a message box that all makes applications not work until the user responds to the message box and the only response you can do is ok and it has a Critical Message icon that loops endlessly

    If there was a secret way to do it, you can always just loop an annoying song on their computer

     

    ...It's Friday, Friday...

    Put the following lua script in their startup folder (once lua is installed)

     

    while 3 == 3 do

    print ("Your computer has a virus!")

    print ("Click here to fix!")

    end

     

    Be prepared for rage face :3

    Another, disable the mouse somehow (Take out batteries, tape down receiver/ball, etc) and set http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897558 as the screensaver.

    then exit using the keyboard or using the mouse keys on the keyboard (ctrl + left shift + num lock (this is the shortcut))

    On linux, remove gnome from init.d, on windows set a fulscreen cmd/conhost into autorun.
    Terminals always freak out those who like 'friendly gui'.
    And oh yeah, if by any chance you can do that, set shell of root to /bin/false in /etc/passwd
    It's so fun to fix it afterwards
