On all his most important applications on the computer(Firefox, Word, Excel) right click, properties, compatability tab, windows 95 and turn on 640x480 and 256 colors.
 
Write up a nasty gram email to the CEO of your company, and screenshot it. Take it down and setup the screenshot as the wallpaper. Then go into the registery and set it as the default login background. :evil:
 
re-arrange his keys on the keyboard...if he's one of those people that type with 3 fingers and does not know how to type properly.
 
Take an old E-mail that he has sent you and edit the headers to make it look like he sent it out to the whole company, edit the subject and contents to something highly un-professional, then reply to it as though you are shocked.

This works especially well if you do subtle key changes (i.e. X/Z, Print Screen/Scroll Lock/ Pause-Break, the insert/delete/home/etc. cluster). It takes you a while and a lot of people have to look at the keys to get them right.

This is a GREAT prank. Especially on the PC-illiterate. Hearing them describe this brings tears of joy to my eyes.

"The screen is all big and the colors are bad"
"I think Word exploded"

Ooh, ooh!
2-part epoxy.
Inject a layer of the resin near the top of the chair, and a bit below that, the hardener. He sits down, the 2 parts get mixed, with the fabric covering of the chair serving to thoroughly mix the components. If little enough is used, he'll only notice something when it starts heating up (the 1 minute stuff gets pretty hot when solidifying). But by then, it'll be too late.

Underclock his CPU to a couple hundred MHz, listen to him complain about everything being slow.

Nah. Disable the cache. It'll take 10 minutes just to boot.



The taser in the bathroom - it's best to have a video camera along too. It's called "insurance". 🙂

Steal the ball from his mouse, or if it's an optical mouse, put some tape under it to block the sensor.
Superglue his mouse to his mousepad.
Superglue crayons to each of his keyboard keys (so they are standing straight up).
If you have access to his PC, take a snapshot of his desktop and then remove all the icons from it. Then set the background wallpaper to the picture with the icons.
If he's a youg guy, replace his office chair with an infants high chair.

Hope these help.

It's hilarious when the victim of that one calls the IT guy who also can't figure out what's going on... 😛

Wow, I had never "played" with those settings for any application before... :evil:


n/m, I just did it to myself... it was pretty obvious what had happened.

Or go into his start bar and change all the office shortcuts so Word starts Excel, Excel starts PowerPoint, etc.
