Drive someone nuts!

Nice, my parents will love this :)
-
Ooh... now to find the right target...
-
Why monkey around with pranks when it is so easy to get the real thing?
Refalm, surprise your parents by deleting a bunch of important dll files, that will get them!
-
We've done this to one of the executives at work before.....
1) Take screenshot of desktop (print screen button + paint) and save it
2) Move all (movable) icons on desktop to a temp folder
3) Tweak windows so that it doesn't display any special icons (ie. Internu Exploder, My Docs, etc.)
4) Set the background as the screeshot you took.
5) Laugh as the (l)user tries to click on his/her "icons".

BAHAHAHA
Im going to have so much fun with my dad and brother thanks to this site.

How do you tweak Windows that way without third-party software? BTW I managed to "delete" my "Recycle Bin" before I left to Canada on the installation of Windows I just uninstalled (read: formatted) a few weeks ago. I don't know how, though.
-

regedit
compmgmt.msc /s
-
Ah... of course. The Windows version of the configuration editor. Except it's not written in human-legible language.
-
regedit's even worse.
-
Aloone: That's what I meant. The GNOME configuration editor is pretty easy to understand. Regedit? Bah!
-
Regedit? *projectile vomits*
-
Regedit is sexy

The ordinary kind of prank:

OMG, that is funny
-
OMG, Holy fuck that's the type of ad they deserve...
-
It would be remotely funny if it was actually acurate and didn't have a Windows 9x BSOD, let alone a fucking blue one (they are red in Vista).
Lame photoshop attempt, try again.
-
Anyway, I logged into my brothers computer and loaded the rudefinger cursor prank. I did it via RDP at 800x600, so I also completely fucked his desktop. Two pranks trying to do one! What a bargain!
-
A cute trick I pulled once:
Edit the main arrow cursor (Microangelo is good for this), and make it about 300x300 pixels. Don't change the size of the arrow itself, just extend the borders - the new area should be filled with transparency. Now, change the hotpoint of the cursor from upper-left to lower-right. Hide close by and watch your victim be unable to accomplish anything with the mouse.
-
Is that all you can do in Vista, Check your e-mail and browse the web?
What kind of an OS is that? :p
-
Wow, sounds like they just brought beos.

Funnier would be to get an XP machine and install all the DLL files from Windows NT 4.0. That would make the ultimate BSOD bitch!
-
Which is funny because I'm, using an NT printer driver for may Cannon 660 LBP and it works a treat!
-
Yea, well copy a bunch of system related ones and watch what happens.
-
Kintaro is windows vista for standard error ther will be a BSOD, When there is a serious error is will be a RSOD
-
So why not transforming the BSOD in a more user friendly dialog box?
Maybe with some less geek code.
-
Because most people would just figure it is advertising that Internet Explorer sent in.

Good point.

The geek code is there for 2 reasons.
1) So that no one ever (not even the guys who wrote the code) can know what the fuck happened
2) You get a stock phrase that Indian tech support can recognize, therefore instantly interrupting you and saying "reinstall Windows"

I had heard a similar version of this, but much less work to execute.
1) Take screenshot of desktop (print screen button + paint) and save it.
2) Set the background as the screeshot you took.
3) Hide the windows taskbar by dragging it down to the bottom of the screen.
Voila. The "start" menu doesn't work (unless you activate it from the keyboard). The clock is frozen at one point in time. None of the quicklaunch icons or system tray icons work. None of the programs show up in the taskbar.
Course, you could mess with the icons also, and really frustrate the poor windoid.

Err, its usually pretty typically stuff that anybody with a brain, a debugger, and source code can work out dude. I am guessing you just lack the first dependency, a brain.
-
Fucktard, I was joking.
However:
The number of people who have access to the source code to all the programs which might have caused a BSOD is probably zero. And using a debugger at the address level is not simple at all.
-
Ah, it does get the message across though "something fucked up, and you can't fix it!".

Regedit is the master ,to think that ms put a win hacking util in the cd !!:)
try finding the resolution of your video card , it is stored in the registry
and type in 9999x99999 :) or 320x[some thing]
-
haha thats a good one
-
No its not.

50x50!
-
I highly doubt that would work, either of you retards suggestions that is. I think 320x240 is the lowest you can go. I will prove you both wrong later.

I can remember 320x200 though :)

When my computer is not building NetBSD-CURRENT and FreeBSD-CURRENT I will find out.

-
I think Bulgaria is great! I can go there with what is absolutely no money in the Netherlands, and feel like a rich man in Bulgaria :)
Everything in Eastern Europe is so cheap, it's fucking awesome :)

The good part is that if your mother or father is an accountant for a big-kick-ass-company you can pull all sorts of "deals":cool:

Do you REALLY think you'd get with a lesbian? ;)
-

No, and certainly not an eastern european one (unless my cock was REALLY big). They just look good.
-
HAHAHA, alright then. ;)
-
A town a few miles from here (Caldwell) is having a Kolache Festival next week, whatever the fuck that means.
-
Why don't you go see what it's about? ;)
-
I know what that means! That's Czech (and a few other Slavic lingos) for "pie" or "cookie" (more like sth inbetween - kol
-
Awesome :)

Try the net for "ЦИМЕНТ" and RaveNholm
and yeah "ЦИМЕНТ" is bulgarian for CONCRETE

Some info on city 17
not for its Bulgarian part but have some info on our neighboring country :D
See the credits !

Actually it's something inbetween. It looks typically like this: http://www.vilem.cz/images/3040DSC02709.jpg

What does Czech mean?
-
As in Czech Republic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_Republic). Or is this my sarcasm sensor failing?
There are quite a few towns of Czech immigrants in the United States, the first wave would be the second half of the nineteenth century, when they all tried to escape oppression from the Austrians (we were a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire) and the second from 1948 to 1989, because of Russian Communism, mainly 1968, the year of the Russian invasion.
-
I was wondering about the meaning of the name Czech, what does it represent, what are its origins?
-
The Legend says that Forefather (for lack of a better word) "Čech" came to the land with his family, or clan, in the eighth century (AD), effectively establishing the Czech nation, for Czech is the modern English version of "Čech", which still means "a Czech" (in Czech). The "Č" is pronounced "ch" as in "church", and the "ch" in "Čech" is similar to the english "h", but even more similar to the German "ch" (as in "Munchen" = Munich).

The German "ch" sounds different from the English one.
-
The english "h" is the same thing as the German "ch", except that it's voiced. (Same difference as in "cee"-"zee" "tee"-"dee" "pee"-"bee" (or the english "sh" vs. french "j")

Done that. Try making a "porn" folder on the desktop, then putting that on the screenshot. They always try and delete it...

try putting an :
---
1:
dir c: >> c:\null[alt+255]
goto 1

in the autoexec bat and watch the fun.
(you type alt + 2 + 5 + 5 thru dos-edit.com ):thumbup:

i'll have to try that...
