it depends on what you mean by "prank"...

You want an all out and out attack or just a little trick that's mildy amusing....

If its the latter, I will have a look but I have a "blue screen of death" screensaver somewhere which is highly authentic looking. When i first started work someone put it on my machine and made me think it was constantly crashing. Well, for all of about 5 mins anyways.....

You can't beat the old take a screenshot of the desktop, paste it as wallpaper, and then remove the real shortcuts. Or removing the start button from the taskbar.

doesnt matter p66, i like them all. my favorite was one where you create a folder in dos using a certain character in the file name, thus making it impossible to delete.
