We run mainly WinNT/Win2K at work. If someone walks away without locking their PC it is time to have fun, to include:
A. Various revealing e-mails from that person to other office members.
B. Screenshot of whatever they are working on. Set it as the wallpaper then lock the machine and drag the unlock window to the bottom corner. They come back and click, then click some more... it is great!
I sent a co-worker of mine on a hunt for a "cable-strecher." He didn't catch on for 15 min. After we all laughed and told him there was no such thing. He said that there was and we were just #$%*ing with him. He wasn't that bright if I remember

Want a faster system, just change that little switch on the power supply to 230. It'll double your power. By the way, where is that smoke coming from?
The best one I did was the most recent. A class I was taking for IIS was on a break for dinner. Everyone would go next door to grab a bite to eat but I stayed behind to do a little web surfing to take advantage of the T-1 connection. I noticed that my friend left his machine unlocked (NT) and was downloading some MP3's from Napster.
I took a screenshot of it, and in Paint edited it a little by graying stuff out and added a box with the follwing message: FBI WARNING, You are illegally downloading copyrighted material. If you continue to do so, you will be traced and prosecuted etc. etc...
I then set it as his wallpaper and went into policy editor and hid his desktop icons. I had to reboot his machine, but fortunatly his was a BDC on my domain with mine being the PDC. I then changed his password.
When he came back he really freaked because it appeared his computer was locked up by the FBI. He restarted it with a comment like "I'll fix them.." and really freaked when he couldn't log on (password changed). I offered to help him by giving him a new user account and password. Boy he really freaked when it still came back up with the FBI thing. He started showing everyone in the class what the FBI did. Of course a couple unwitting classmates jumped in with thier own stories of FBI computer hacking which really added to the fun. Some made comments like "If the FBI ever did that to me I would blah blah blah..."
He tried in vain to fix it for about 10 minutes and 2-3 more reboots. Then while he was away taking a bathroom break I went back into policy editor and changed it back and got rid of the wallpaper. He came back while I was just finishing up and was actually greatful I was able to "fix" his PC. He still doesn't know it was a joke.
An oldie but goodie (though not computer related). I get a little kick out of it...
Leave a phone message for your favorite coworker from a person named "Myra Maines" and put the phone number of a funeral home or crematorium. I'm sure the morticians get tired of it, but it's a great joke if you pull it on someone who's never heard it.
They pick up the phone and dial...person answers...they say, "Hi, yes...I'd like to speak with Myra Maines, please."
Say it out loud to get the effect.

Probably the funniest was when my (ex-)boyfriend and I were running PCanywhere on our systems so we could use them from each other's dorm rooms...while he was over at my place he got on his computer remotely and turned on Winamp, turned the volume up to full and let it run...when he got home his poor roomate told him that something was wrong with his computer, it was going crazy and blasting music all by itself...hehe
took a short vacation on a weekend
took an old dos program called backtalk and setup it up to be the first in the autoexec.bat, would just go to prompt, if you typed anything in it would just tell you it was sleeping or go away and after awhile it would say it will format your hard drive
the bosses wife never did forgive me, she was totally ignorant of computers, and freaked out
was fired about 2 weeks later
best thing that ever happened to me
I dun a few like these.
Created a shortcut on desktop c:\windows\rundll.exe user.exe,exitwindows and made the icon for Word..... everytime my boss tried to run word, it shutdown. Also printscreened the desktop, saved as backdrop, and using tweakui, removed all the desktop icons, and hid the startmenu. (repointed start>programs to c:\windows\temp!) Of course, it looked like the icons were all there, but you couldn't click on any of them! he he

kinda cheesy but i remeber a real cute gal, who's boyfriend put a huge text love letter in her start up and couldnt get rid of it since she was an idiot.... only problem was that they had broken up, and it wasnt so cute anymore https://forums.windrivers.com/ however, something like that can be real hard to get rid of if it is coming from the registry
mabyee we need another forum to teach each other how to do these, some of these are really good
Teach me! Teach me! How do I do that one?

Another fun thing to do is create an icon on the desktop that shutsdown or restarts the computer. I had fun with that one shen my friend worked at circuit city. Used to make the buttons say, "WARNING do not touch", and of course they did.
i worked at walmart a LOOONNNNNNNGGGGG time ago and we used to shrink wrap managers cars as well. Can I see the pics??? Email me or post them!

Do one thing everyday that scares you!
I bubble wrapped a guys motorcycle with a industrial roll and few rolls of duct tape. Wow I'll never forget his face. He thought someone stole his bike. He walked past it and never recognised it.
When my company was emptying the comp graveyard a coworker changed out of his shirt/tie/suit into a track suit. We then wrapped up his clothes and sent them via a courier to our largest contractor at the other end of the country. He actually saw the funny side.
Also when I was at College (good old dos days) I wrote a small little program that played a random beep every time a key was pressed. I called it DOSKEY.COM, changed the time & date stamp and file size to match the real DOSKEY.
Next I copied it to a boot disk with an autoexec.bat that simply copied my file over the original DOSKEY.
After this I went into the programming lab one lunch time. 30 or so PCs with only DOS and Dos based C, Pascal etc. All of which loaded DOSKEY from the autoexec. I booted every single PC with my boot disk.
I told the rest of my class and we were all stood waiting outside a room 1 floor below for a lecture. When the female programming teacher came storming downstairs into the staff room and we just cought a scream of "It sounds like a F***ING SPACESHIP in there."
Needless to say the uproar from the rest of my class earned me a two week suspension.

Me and a bunch of lads picked up a college lecturers car and moved it from the carpark out into a nearby field and rolled it onto it's roof.
"Pick up a car?" I here you say. Well not a real car but an automobile none the less.
Take a look at this :-

THE biggest joke in automobile history!
