Top Office Prank: Computer Prank #1
Often the office can be a very dull place and sometimes it helps to engage in some company moral activities. There is no better form of team building than giving everyone a chance to laugh at one of their fellow collegues***. Below is one of my favorites.
1. Change a co-workers desktop background to look like their desktop and then remove their icons.
One of the lesser used buttons on a standrad keyboard is the orint screen button. Using this button you can create an image of the screen.
1. Minimize all the windows on the desktop.
2. Click the print screen button.
3. Open an image application .. MS Paint will work.
4. Paste the new image into the image application.
5. Save the image as a BMP (bitmap)
6. Create a folder on the computer's c drive and move all their desktop icons into that folder.
7. They will now have no icons on their desktop.
8. Now replace their desktop background image with the picture you made.
9. Now when they try to click on their shortcuts they will not work becaus ethey are just clicking on a picture.
10. Sit back and laugh.
**This is not a good idea if you work for the U.S. Postal service.
