Wind The Wife Up Time (Again)

[Andi]

Gets her every time, can be great fun in the office too.

Ctrl + Alt + the downward arrow on the computer.... Flips the screen upside down ad causes maximum frustration.

 

Ill just give it another go and then go to the garage

 

Oh yes! its resolved by pushing

Ctrl + Alt + upwards arrow..

I always liked a screensaver called "the blues". It switched the screen to something that looked like the blue-screen-of-death but unlike other screensavers you had to press a certain key to wake the machine back up. Best part was that it populated the picture with info from the machine's registry so it looked legit.

 

Another good one is to do a print screen whilst their machine is on the desktop so you get a picture of their desktop with the icons displayed. Now copy their icons to a new location and set the picture you've just made as the background. Looks like nothing's changed but when clicking on what look like icons nothing happens.

 

Stickykeys - part of Windows accessibility options. You set it so that key presses of less than several seconds don't register. Especially good at work since it's person specific and doesn't kick in until that person logs in. Ctrl+Alt+Del works fine and they can enter a userID and password no probs but then the keyboard simply seems to stop responding. If someone else logs in, presto - no problem it must be something they've done.

 

Probably mostly listed on Stewarts website.
