Atleast 3 times a week, when I leave my computer unlocked, he gets on it and does something to screw me up. He sometimes might slow down my mouse speed a lot and have the curser drag. He has also installed some program that allowed you to make a key (he chose the "a" key) to be used as an enter key. While doing this he always puts up a "joo got pwned" background.
This is making me mad, and I need to get him back. What would you do? It can't be anything that would damage him or his computer. I would like something I could download, or do on his computer that would be free.

Thanks guys!

Boot it with a live linux cd like ubuntu, tell him you reformatted and installed linux for him instead. :confused:

Do that trick where you hit printscreen on the desktop, delete all the icons and set that printscreen pic as the background.

That's one that he does to me WAY too much.

you don't have to delete the icons, just right click > arrange icons > and uncheck the "show desktop icons"

that way it's easily reversable (if you want to be less of a jerk :p)

Open up regedit and have it so it doesn't matter what web address he puts into explorer/firefox/browser, it sends him to a gay porno website or picture.

Burn his PC

OR

Take the cable that connect it to power

OR

create a shortcut to shutdown the PC, and then get MSconfig to run it when the PC starts

I like the idea of a VNC, but I have never used one. Where can I get one for free? Also, could you tell me the basics of how to use it? Or point me to some place that could?
Thanks.

the ocmputer I would access it from (my computer) has XP Pro, but I am assuming his is the one that needs it. He only has XP Home.

change his key assignments...that is the ultimate fun. There was this software with which you could assign any key to do anything. Reassign his whole keyboard and voila....loads of fun.

another easy prank: Change the mouse orientation to "left handed" (if it is right handed originally). Takes a while before anyone figures it out :D
