With this article, I want to have some fun writing some old Windows tricks that will make jokes lovers so much fun. Since everyone now works with the computer and in offices and schools, people are working side by side in the same room or even at the same desk, I think it is right to report small tricks to make real computer jokes to your colleague or "classmate".
Jokes to do with the computer, completely innocent, easy for anyone and, don't worry, completely reversible.
Of course, if you do them to a friend they can be nice but if there is an unpleasant colleague they are perfect to make him look bad at work or make him live moments of terror.
1) The motionless desktop : to make this joke it takes 2 minutes in which the victim leaves the computer on and unprotected.
After taking possession of the Windows computer, you must view the desktop without active windows and press the "stamp" key.
From any image editor, even the classic Paint press, from the "edit" menu the "Paste" button and save the acquired image.
Now go back to the desktop, press the right button and, under the context menu "arrange icons for .." deselect the item "show icons on the desktop".
Now that the icons have disappeared, we will also take out the taskbar by pressing the right button on the Start button -> properties -> Taskbar -> remove the check under "Automatically hide".
Last step, right click on the empty desktop -> Properties -> Desktop -> Browse -> choose the previously saved image -> Apply.
Final result, the victim will return to his computer and will not understand for what the hell of a reason, he can no longer click any icon, because the start does not work and because the desktop remains motionless!
2) Blue screen, fatal error : this joke is based on a simple screensaver, distributed by Microsoft itself, which must be installed on the target's computer.
After going to lunch, on his return, he will find the blue screen characteristic of the fatal errors of Windows.
The blue screen joke can also be implemented on iPhone, iPad, Nexus tablets and Android smartphones HTC and Samsung with the " death blue screen " blue screen backgrounds that can be downloaded from the Hongkiat website
3) The broken LCD screen : to do for those who own a laptop, they will take a hit when they see that their expensive computer monitor has cracked. To make this joke you need to set the image of the broken LCD as the background of the computer and hide, as was seen for joke 1, both the icons and the start bar.
"but your laptop was dropped">
4) Confuse the files : it is simply a matter of changing the links to the desktop links, directing them, for example, to the Pinball game: right click on a link, properties and change the path of the file to which it is connected in the "Destination" field with "C: \ Program Files \ Windows NT \ Pinball \ PINBALL.EXE"
This joke can annoy a very serious work colleague who would like to make a good impression, with his pc in front, in front of other people and finds himself opening games and nonsense.
5) Fake virus : To create a bad virus effect and scare someone you can take a "shortcut" icon on the desktop, for example, Internet Explorer, press the right button on it and write in the target field:
"Shutdown.exe -s -t 15 -c" Any message that warns of the presence of a virus ""The result will be a message with the chosen words written and the automatic and irreversible shutdown of the PC every time the victim presses on the Internet Explorer.
If you want to be bad you can also set it on all desktop icons ...
6) Screen flipped : not everyone knows that on many computers this combination of keys works: "CTRL-ALT-Arrow Down" to flip the monitor.
If you know it and the other doesn't, it can take up to an hour to understand why ...
7) Deformed desktop : with a small application called DesktopFun, which works on Windows XP and not on Vista, you can cause deformation effects of the screen, every time you press the Start button.
The joke is nice if among the effects you choose colors from a PC of 10 years ago or stuff that can leave the victim to think if he hasn't stolen the PC.
8) " Press enter to continue ": You need to open a DOS window by going to Start -> Accessories or from the Start menu -> Run program -> cmd .
On the dos window write: "prompt any message (for example, " press enter to continue ") and press enter, then go to the top edge of the dos window and set the window to full screen.
The unfortunate will hit enter to continue finding himself stuck on the black DOS window.
9) " Error! ": With a simple portable program, which does not install and which must be launched and that's it, you can create false error messages by planning their appearance after a certain time.
The joke works when the message says for example " Attention your computer is under attack, get under the table and pray! ".
By copying the file on the PC of our dear friend, you set the type of message and the time at which it appears.
Message Manager would be born as a reminder for pc but used in this way, it becomes more fun.
10) Erase everything on the pc is the joke to pretend to erase all the files on the victim's computer.
Fake Delete does nothing but simulate the typical animation of when deleting files on Windows.
The only way to stop the animation is to use the tak manager and kill the Fake Delete.
11) " Terrorizing the neighbor ": If you work alongside or in front of a work colleague and you are in a not too protected network, where, for example, you can share folders or files, we can use the Office Poltergeist program, insert the victim's IP and make many jokes that will drive him crazy.
From this program you can make sounds heard on your pc, open the CD drawer, make a snake appear on the screen, make it appear pop up continuicon with terrible writings, move folders and so on.
12) The PC turns itself off! : On a laptop, enter the energy saving options from the control panel and set, as idle time for sleep and hibernation, 1 minute, even if the PC is connected to the power outlet.
Every minute that pc is not used, it turns off the monitor, goes to sleep and hibernates.
