Desktop Magic: a Practical Joke from an engineer

I am in a baaaaad mood today...

Thank God I am not the bastard administrator from hell. Or I might do this to a friend who left his workstation unlocked:

1. Minimize all windows.
2. Press PRINTSCREEN
3. Save the image to disk as BMP.
4. Create a new folder on the desktop, call it "Got ya".
5. Select and move all desktop shortcuts in this folder.
6. Set the desktop background as the new image :-)
7. Watch the fun :-D

If you are really nasty then do the following too:

• Blur the image a bit before setting it as background.
• Select a blurred icon for the GotYa icon, or some innocent looking icon.
• When your friend sees his desktop and ask you to help him then tell him everything looks OK to you, not blurred.
• Help him take a day off ;-)
• Make sure your friend is sitting, because he might get scared and think he got a stroke or something and faint...

Have Fun,
