Funny Windows Prank! Drive Your Friends Nuts With This One!

Auto hiding the task bar, the task bar will show up with the mouse on the bottom of the screen. Right click the task bar, uncheck "lock the task bar" so the task bar is unlocked. Now move the cursor over the task bar to get the double arrow. When you have the double arrow, drag the task bar so that it is only 4 pixels in size. Now even the techie's won't be able to figure out the PC... Good Prank.

You can right click the desktop and go to Auto arrange icons by and then unclick Show Desktop icons. Then you dont have to worry about actually deleting any icons. When you want to get them back just right click to show the icons again.

you can move them to a new folder, then put that folder in the recycle bin, since you don't mess with that. Then when (if) you tell the person what you did, they will yell and scream at you for deleting all the stuff on their desktop, and you can pull the folder out of the recycle bin, and viola, all the files are safe.

once again, awesome nk5, I love your computer videos.

...this is super stuff, can't wait to trick my son :-)

And if I found out you were deleting crap off my desktop, I would be-head you.

You are better off using Ctrl Alt Down arrow to flip the screen up-side-down and watch them try to flip it the right way using the control panel, because the mouse is inverted too. :P

Thanks

that is a good one

going to try it (instead of deleting icons press right click go to arrange icons by and uncheck show desktop icons) still nice

your screwed if they look at the clock lol

put it on some porn website if its a like co worker or something lol

I just watched this video it was cool I must tell you

haha this is awesome keep up the amzing work

my friend got really pissed off, we had a good laugh

If the user has a CRT monitor you can be even meaner... Shrink the taskbar to 0 size (unlock it first then flatten it to nothing, will show just a small line). Then access the settings of the CRT monitor and extend/move the entire screen down outside of the frame so the taskbar becomes outside the viewable area. NOW let's see how he finds that out...

just right click on the desktop and uncheck "Show Desktop Icons". You don't have to move or delete anything.
Plus, this old trick won't work on me because I would hit the Windows Key on the keyboard, unless you have it unplugged, but then I would hit the CapsLock and the NumLock to make sure it's working... Also if you right click on any of the fake icons then you know they are not icons.

There is another desktop prank kind of like that one.

Not only did you copy my video, you made it much more difficult.

thats a cool trick

:)

this has been put onlie like 50 times b4 u...

I did this in the library when I was about 9 years old... and get banned because they had to call some "repair man" to repair the computer for 200 old money....

But I like it !!!

to get rid of icons right click on desktop then go to arrange icons by then uncheck "show irons" or wut ever

I've been doing this for years at places like Best Buy, Circuit City, Radio Shack etc.
But rather than deleting icons I simply highlight them and drag them off the screen.
That way the real icons can't be seen but its a little easier to fix back in the long run.

Sucks they rejecetd it from PR, though!
