For hunt and peck typists, switch just two keys, like d and f, and change it up every week or so, and keep chiding them about their horrible spelling.


Bury all the desktop icons in a directory structure 40 or so deep.

Take a screenshot of their desktop, Put all the icons in a folder off the desktop, replace the background with the screenshot.

~~all of mine were already posted :(

Take the mouseball out of their mice.

Who still has a mouseball to actually take?

You can tape a little piece of paper over the laser in their mouse. Works the same.

Ctrl+Alt+Up ; normal landscape screen orientation
Ctrl+Alt+Left ; 90 degree screen orientation
Ctrl+Alt+Down ; 180 degree screen orientation
Ctrl+Alt+Right ; 270 degree screen orientation

Usually messes with their heads

One of my personal favorites.


Awesome!

We get calls about that all the time where someone does that by mistake and can't figure out what they did. THe Help Desk is also too stupid to figure out you have to log in before you can use those keys to turn it back...
