Topic: Know any good pranks?

My roommate and I like to pull pranks on this one female friend of ours. Just recently, we stripped down to just shorts, took a full length picture, and added black boxes around the area where our shorts were. So now the picture looks like we are completely naked. We then put this picture as her background in windows. This real trick was that we know a registry hack that removes the background table in display properties. So, after we set her background to our picture, we removed her ability to change it. Laughter insued when she returned. Now we want to new ideas. Does anyone have suggestions for pranks that we could pull, that will NOT get the cops called, or property damaged?

Go into DOS and get into the windows desktop directory.

create a whole bunch of directories with spaces in their names, but use ALT+255 to create the space. Windows can't handle that, and puts in an underscore. (md hiALT+255all -> hi_all)

If she tries to open them, she gets an error, if she tries to drag them to the rubbish, she gets and error.

To delelte them, just go into dos and rd them. (rd hiALT+255all)

No damage done, but really annoying.

You could also put a command in her autoexec.bat, or startup directory that copies the contents of a directory to the desktop. When she boots up, her desktop is covered in crap...

For good non-computer pranks, I've found quite a few good recommendations < here. > It's part 10 in their series. The links to the other 9 are at the bottom of the page.

hrm....
stick a raw chicken leg in a jar half-filled with milk. then put it under her bed

in afew days, the gas from the rotting milk-leg will cause the jar to break, sending the rancid stuff everywhere. and theres no way to get rid of the smell

of course, thats a little mean.
or you could pop out the little keys in the keyboard, and switch them around. if she depeneds to look at the keyboard when she's typing, itll really screw her up.

at one time i had a keyboard.sys file that would remap the keys...

Best one i have ever seen.
jack up their car and put it on blocks.
remove all the wheels.
leave wheels and lugnuts behind but steal the lug wrench.
Once they go through all the trouble of getting tires back on (buying new wrench, calling road service) take a nice soft rag and put it on their hood. in the middle of the rag place the lug wrench.

you could also sit on her toliet... don't "leave" a dump, just put down the seat and sit on it. early in the morning, just before she wakes up. See if she notices...

D/L Tweaki...for Power Users. Take screenshot of desktop. Remove all desktop items. Place your new wallpaper.

Or, you can just crap all over your friend while he/she sleeps!

Or shit all over yourself and run around and say, "hi! I'm shit man! And I'm covered in poo!"

Or just kill yourself! And leave a note that says, "haha! funny, huh?!"

take a shit in the water reservoir tank in the back of the toilet. The longer its there the nastier the water that fills the bowl will be. Shell never expect it.

hahaha, good one...
others:

replace her sugar with salt
put honey in her shampoo
do something to her coffee

the trick is to see her routine, and get her every part of her morning...

hehe shoot her parents in the face and then send he rthe pics lol i laughewd over that one for weeks until i had to kill the person in case he realised it was me.

anywayz back to reality go into the registry and alter the minimum file write size from 512k down to something like iono mabye 1k and then her hard drive will get fragmented by 80\% just by opening word or something stupid >:]

she prooly hasnt put a password on her bios so you can have all sorts of fun underclocking her pc and shit and then lock her out from changing it. although if she knew what to do in her bios she'd prolly know how to reset it all

the old changing her room so its exactly mirrored from what it used to be is funny

get her fave cds and rip copy print the cover on them onto a ripped cd with some music she absolutely hates

putting holes in her entire supply of condoms >:]

reset her keyboard to arabic setup or something

set all her programs so that they appear outside the viewing range of her screen and then change the monitor type so that she cant change the resolution to correct it.

rename all her shortcuts destinations to something stupid

duak boot linux on her system and see how she tries to work out linux from scratch

kill her parents and... nope already done that one

unscrew her cupboards and lock them in your room

put her car up on bricks if she has one >:]

get some offical letter and write it like saing shes gonna be evicted

super glue her shoes to the floor. i know gurls tend to slip into their shoes rather than actually pick them up and put them on >:]

well thats all the ones i can think of in 5 mins

Just go into policy editor. Its poledit.exe on the windows cd. You can "edit" alot of things with it. Its how they lock the library computers down. Shell get real sick of seeing the messaged "You do not have access rights to this function. Please see you administrator."

Fuck computer pranks, what you REALLY should do is get some guys together, dismantle her car, lug the parts up to the roof, and re-assemble it there. Then get up real early and watch the fun.
