So, does anyone have any truly devious computer gags for your fellow co-workers?
Since I started working IT, here are some things I've done in the past:
1.) Take a screen shot of the victims desktop, set it as the background and move all the icons into a folder hidden in the bottom corner. They can't click on anything. But the system seems otherwise OK.
2.) Leave a bootable Linux USB stick in the back USB slot, put an official looking memo on their desk, something like, "Desktop PC Linux Migration, IT dept." Leave them a username and password. Direct any questions to the real IT dirrector so that he can play along or he can be victim #2.
3.) Put clear plastic tape carefully on the inside of their mouse ball housing. Which, usually creates just enough interference to be highly annoying and is not noticeable.
4.) Turn the volume to their speakers all the way up. Make sure they have a startup sound.
