I remember our stupid prank back in the day was to take a screenshot of your desktop, make it your background and delete all your icons.

Don't forget to flip the screenshot upside down, then flip the display on the monitor also upside down.

The computer will look normal, but the cursor will be move in the opposite direction.

I was a fan of leaving the orientation normal, but moving the start bar and setting it to auto-hide. A long time ago I put a simple bat file (like "shutdown -l -t 0" or similar) in a coworkers startup folder... I guess that was a step too far though and he thought I broke his computer. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

You know you can just hide/show them in two clicks right?

Hide desktop was the way to go on XP with this prank.

Haha we all did that one. So funny watching angry teachers trying to click on things that were just screenshots. We also did it with things that were like annoying pop ups so you'd be really motivated to click to get rid of it.
