office screenshot prank
My mate never used to lock his workstation when he left his desk. Now normally the prank is send an email from his outlook to all your mates and his, saying how he likes donkeys in a sexual manner etc.

This one time he went to lunch and left his pc unlocked. So I ran round sat at his desk and took a screenshot of his desktop. Saved it, and then set it as his back ground. Then simply locked his PC and hit the login box (this is on NT) so it looks like his PC is still unlocked.

Queue 45 minutes later he returns from lunch and all the icons he tries to click on don’t respond (because its just a picture and not actually logged in) this guy got furious pretty quickly... shouting things like 'these PC's are crap.... they’re always f**king up....' Queue 10 minutes on the phone to technical support who, despite all efforts are still unable to get his PC working.

I just sat back and pissed my self laughing along with our manager who let it all happen. Great!

Simple, but very effective.

oh and then there was a time when we changed his 'receiving email' sound to that of porn sounds - a girl moaning her face off.

We used to do this to our office pc
whenever we knew a particular IT bod was on the prowl for something to break. We called him Omar the Destroyer because he always wrecked computers if you let him go on them.

Hiding all the icons, autohiding the start bar at the top of the screen and setting a wallpaper that made it look your pc was still on and working was known as 'Omar-proofing' it.
