This is April, the fool’s month – a month best known for its funny and hilarious pranks. And what better way to prank someone or better yet your friend, then to do one with their computers. With this, I present you with the five most funny computer pranks that you can try on your friends.
Make desktop icons disappear
Time to disappear some desktop icons
This is quite an easy prank. Just get hold of your friend’s computer and then right click on the desktop and uncheck the ‘Show Desktop Icons’ under the ‘View’ option. If your friend isn’t a computer savvy, he wouldn’t know what to do, except for panic.
Changing the screen’s orientation
Let’s flip the screen
For this prank to work just to go the control panel of your friend’s computer and select the ‘Display’ option, then located on the left side click on ‘Change Display Setting’ option and then, just select a different orientation to scare your friends.
Change the cursor to busy
Is your system busy? or hanged?
This is pretty awesome, just head on to the Control Panel, then to go the Mouse setting and change the mouse pointer to busy, so that when your friend uses the system he will think his computer is hung.
Change system setting to high contrast
Why so dull?
Give your friend a little taste of this, just press Shift, Alt and Print Screen buttons on your friend’s computer and this will activate the high contrast mode. Believe me, its fun watching them struggle to rectify this problem.
Add some funny screenshots as wallpaper
Oops! What’s that on your desktop?
This one is really hilarious, just create some funny or weird folders on the desktop, and then take a screenshot of it and save it as the wallpaper. When your friend sees what is there on his computer, he will really go crazy (especially when he is unable to delete it).
