This is the best I have seen: "What do you think of when you think of Tourettes? Random swear words right? This next prank does exactly that. While you are typing in a word document or outlook a random swear word will appear. The words will appear in random increments and the words them selves are random. The words and the time gap is determined by you."

Did it mostly during Win 3x days and I would also change the shell from progman.exe to clock exe...so every time they closed the clock it would take them out of Windows to the DOS prompt...

Fake desktop: Open a few windows. Take a screenshot of his entire Windows screen. Set that as the desktop background. Set desktop icons to hidden. Unlock the taskbar and resize it to the smallest size (a few pixels high). Minimize all his windows. Now he's got an image on his screen that looks just like a running computer, but will be completely unresponsive. Change his region/language settings so dates are backwards (DD/MM vs MM/DD). Set his mouse acceleration and/or double-click speed to insanely high or low values. Rename the "My Computer" icon to "Recycle Bin", and vice versa. Change the icons, too, if you have program to do that. Rename various desktop icons in subtle ways. For example, "Network" to "Netwrok". See how long it takes for him to notice. Set the sound properties to make rude sounds on window resize, new mail, etc. Under Internet Properties, change the settings to disable everything. No images, no downloads, no colors. Security, accessibility, and advanced settings all play to this. -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
