My Funny Picture

does anyone know of some neat computer pranks/tricks?

I was messing around with command prompt and looking online and stuff recently and was wondering if anyone knew any good pranks or trick for command prompt or batch files or any other type? Thanks

1. Not really a DOS/batch file/command prompt trick, but this oneI always have a good time with: Take a screenshot of your or someone elses desktop. Make that the background. Create a new folder and move all of their desktop icons into it. So they'll try to click on an icon, which is really part of the background - and nothing will happen.
2. i know how to turn the screen upside down lol... Prees ctr plus alt plus down at the same time
3. I know they end you up in jail.
4. you could get the person to message him or herself. example batch below: ------------------------------------------- @echo off msg * message ------------------------------------------- where the message is your message. a command that you should refrain from using too often, as this will annoy professionals, or people working with documents: TSKKILL process.ext (where process is the filename of the program, and the ext is the extension, commonly as EXE). this will force a program to close, no question asked. It's equivalent to closing a process in Task Manager(under the Processes tab) @Christopher: That usually applies with Windows XP and newer OSes, as I believe. @Maverick: If done responsibly, you won't get in jail. Most likely you'd get a scolding and/or fine. although deleting files that another person needs, depending on the person, may or may not land you in jail.
