1. *sighs* oh well. rotating the screen view upside down.
2. Harmless or not, these kind of tricks can make companies think that you are capable of more serious pranks. Not advisable in a world where there are more workers than jobs.
3. You can make a shortcut to the shutdown command, and place it in the startup folder. Edit their Word/Outlook autocorrect settings, so that when they type something right, it will put something else in there instead. So if they type in "lol", it will change to "wtf". Or everytime they type their name, it will change to "God". You get the idea. Change the system sounds to something obscene, or funny Switch the right and left mouse buttons
4. Scott Adams (Dilbert cartoonist) had a chapter full of office pranks in The Joy of Work, one of his non-cartoon books. That might give you some ideas! The best prank in the chapter was one where the computer guy downloaded a sound file of Meg Ryan's famous performance in the cafeteria scene of When Harry Met Sally, put the sound onto a co-worker's computer, assigned the sound to **every** Windows event, and for good measure maxed out the speaker volume. That one had me practically in tears from laughing when I first read it. I believe Adams says at the beginning of the chapter (maybe even at the beginning of the book) that it's for entertainment purposes and attempting the high-jinks therein runs the risk of getting you fired, so if you actually pull any of those pranks, you're operating strictly at your own risk.
5. If they do not type by touch, you can pull the keys out of the keyboard and rearrange them. You can take the ball out of the mouse. If they do not lock there computer when they leave send out an email to everyone in the company but them saying " I am having an emotionaly trying day. If you see me please give me a hug."
