Whats the lowest thing you ever done to someone elses pc

MR DAZ

Right.....

I know your out there.....

What is the worst thing you ever done to someone elses pc???

Like "Cos you know about pc's n stuff and they dont know ****"

Swapped a graphics card?
Swapped a hard drive??

Turned a p43.4ghz to p42ghz


Go on admit it..........

This guy once had a picture of me on his pc I didn't particulary like, so I put it in the recycle bin and emptied it.

Apperently the recycle bin was where he kept all of his dads documents. He had to spend about 2 weeks retyping letters. At the time I didn't feel a bit guilty, I said to him "You stupid twat" and nearly burst out laughing.

Well this one time, at band camp....

A friend in IT support in a bank once got a phone call from a friend in the bank, as their desktop icons suddenly disappeared one morning when the machine turned on
30 minutes of a phone call passed, with him checking all of the usual stuff - security settings on the "All Users" folder, on the icons themselves, he checked the application logs to see if there were problems, security logs, error logs, services ... everything, and STILL no joy. During this call the icons came back up on the desktop periodically, just to make things that bit more annoying for us in support.

Turns out, it was the IT guy that cut the icons from the desktop of the user, and pasted them to a folder on his machine! Then he cut+pasted them back to the desktop every few minutes to annoy the other guy bloody hilarious stuff at the time At least they were good friends though - it wasn't one of the biddies

Similar story I used to do on other peoples pc's. I take a screenshot of their desktop and set it as wallpaper, then remove all their desktop icons.

How I laughed at them trying to click.

MR DAZ

Zoro....thats similar to trick a friend of mine showed me....


Take a print screen pic of someones desktop....then copy all there icons into a folder on thier hard drive...

Then set the print screen as there wallpaper.....then if its not bad enough...

Move there tool bar to the top of the screen and set it to auto hide...

Its just hilarious watching them reboot there system over and over again cos nothing seems to work only the mouse

Have got loads of fun from that one!!!!

MR DAZ

LOL Jim

Ciaran500

I would post what I've done in here but the person I've done them to is proably reading this thread.



Hi Andrew

Joeface

Ah Ciaran thats just evil
he is now scratchin his head goin what did that bollox do

koneko

Ha, yeah, we did the wallpaper screenshot thing too, nice

Put tape on the button of their mouse.

One that's funny, but you probably can't do in most offices. Install WinVNC and do funny things like open folders every once in a while, or move their mouse. Little things that are going to freak them out.

Draíochta

Put a small bit of tape over the sensor of my friends optical mouse.
It didn't take him long to figure it out, I was sitting beside him with a big grin on my face.
Might try it again, on someone further away this time though.

Hagar

Change the mouse to left handed and set the double-click speed to fastest.

Thats brilliant... but wouldn't moving the mouse not turn it off, or pop up the password box?

Jim

I think P45.net used to have a few little programmes that did stuff to the pc. One of them turned the display upside down. Me and a mate of mine did it to a few pc's in DCU a few years ago. Guys were coming in turning the monitor upside down and stuff.

Imposter

ALT+SHIFT+PrintScreen.

tman

pause
cls
pause
cls
....
repeat a ****load of times and stick it in their autoexec.bat
sometimes i miss win9x.

recently, put someones mouse on left handed and full speed and turned his desktop upside down (easy to do from the ati control panel)

jaggeh

i formatted every hard drive in a guys pc and installed windows 3.11

sorry xithus

change the pointer to a penis, on a lecturer in colleges class.
only small thing but stil v. funny

Unsecure wifi network + printer + pr0n :eek: :cool:

Back in DOS days I changed the country code for the keyboard on one of the secretary's PCs from UK to German. Being a touch typer she typed away good-o without watching the screen. Even when she had a look it seemed ok - the main difference between German and UK keyboards is that the Z and Y swap places. Only when she was proofing the docs did she realise that everz y was wrong. I came clean eventuallz

Rew

Put a p0rn video in with game files then got the game copied on to the DOS/win3.1 network we habd in secondary school. Funny to walk down the back of the PC room and see the same p0rn video on 30 screens with about 60 people watching.

Netbused a fiends PC then when he was on Yahoo chat I ease droped on the microphone and played havoc with his PC and scared the **** out of him by answering things he was saying in the room by replying in the chat window.

Put Netbus on every PC in the newest college lab (that 4th years mainly used, i was a 1st year) then tormented everone.

Replaced the win95/98 startup/shutdown screens with p0rn

Swaped 2 64 meg SD-DIMMS for 1 128 meg chip in sombodys PC

Stole the stand for an LCD monitor when it arrived, sealed the box again and tried to convince the owner that it was an added extra you had to order and he should just lean it against the wall.

Few other work things I proabably shouldn't go in to

ShiverinEskimo

Replace someone's mouse ball with a large spherical boiled sweet.
it works for a while then gets worse and worse (esp on hot days)
they get further and further frustrated and slam the mouse every now and again.

Eventually they go to clean it and get annoyed when the inside is all sticky and mingin. I got a verbal warning for that. (he was my boss...)

beer enigma

Put a small plastic pot of Tesco Deluxe Trifle into a guys desktop....after a while the cream went off & he phoned tech support compaining of a smell from his system.........

He was the only one not in on the joke, so we all watched as he tried to explain it to IT :rolleyes:

Capt'n Midnight

Someone forgot to logout...

So backed up the startup script and put in a new one instead.
It being a mainframe you could disable the keyboard (can do in DOS too BTW) and got it to type every text and document file in their folder.

Took bloody ages for it to run, and the victim had called over the lecturer to ask something about a project, so they were just looking at it wizzing by ...

When it was finished it put the old startup script back, deleted itself and logged out.

Giblet

I've swapped 512 of ny PC2700 for 3200. Oh and did print screen, set it as background, and hid the icons "Hey, when I click the icons nothing happens."

OfflerCrocGod

While scanning some random IPs once I came across someone who had his C: drive shared on the net. I trashed it. Boot.ini and My Docs and io.sys files all the files Win needs to boot were deleted (whichever ones I could delete) emptied autoexec etc... I can't believe he didn't even password the drive :eek:

Col_Loki

Sent one of my mates a file called funnycar.zip , he clicked and opened it ....... it pops up loads of small screens with tits on it, and when you try to click on them it moves away, when you hit the X it doubles. The poor fecker didnt know what to do so just switched off the machine (in college).

Sent him the same file called dodomovie.exe , he never copped it..... again.
Same file on disk renamed and linked to a java batch file , which he clicked on and it happened him again.
And the final time i sent him an e-mail and made it look like it was from the lecturer (just before an exam), telling him its the new program to help you with the subject........ hahaha it wasent. He deleted every e-mail with an attachment for the next year.

Removed one of my friends audigy 2 cards (his pride and joy) from his old dell and put in a simular card (which wasent hooked up). Then pluged the sound into onboard (worst sound ever) and made it look like the cables were still connected to the audigy........ lasted about a month before he found out, despite all the "audigy sound is pretty bad isint it" , "is there something wrong with your sound" etc etc (payback for doing the wallpaper trick to me, jebuz you f*****).

Slightly off topic but the lowest/funniest thing I've ever done on a computer... Whilst playing a game of Championship Manager 93/94 on my miggy I fined all my mates players when he went to the loo thus causing a revolution within his club! muahahaha

parsi

NT Resource kit used have a tool called shutgui.exe which allowed you to remotely shut down someones PC and if you wanted display a reason - I used shut down a colleagues pc with the warning that it was overheating - great afternoons fun..

Back in college someone had a VMS proggy called shout which allowed you to send a opcom stle broadcast to a specific terminal - did it to someone telling them to pour water in as it was overheating (they did overheat in those days ) - next minute the person dashed out of the lab (ITD in UL) to get some...

I did something like that too!

In CM01/02 you can nickname players, so when I my friend wasn't looking, I nicknamed all his crap players as "Fabien Barthez", "Roy Keane" etc and vice versa. So in his next game, he was playing 16-year-old strikers in goal, etc...

Apart from that, the worst I've done was probably with SubSeven, but nothing too bad. Just remotely opening and closing their CD-ROM drives, making their printer print out "I can see you..." etc...

Hi Andrew

You son of a B1tch!

Hes joking he couldn f00k with me!

Iv had the desktop thing done to me but coped it both times, sadly the second time I was JUST after waking up and just Couldn`t for the life of me even begin to figure out how to go about fixing it! I couldnt find the unhide folders options etc.. It was just a mess.

Other than that, nothing much, I know Iv done something but cant remember nothing L337 like you guys tho!

The funniest (but really bad at the same time) has to be that guy on Mirc!

For any of you that dont know it went something like this

Kid:Hey guys the light on my modem is flashing do I have a virus?

Fat nerds: quite possibly yes, you better plug out your modem

**kid logs**

Fat nerds: HEHEHEHE *whoops our glasses slipped*

**kid logs in**

Kid:I did that but lost my internet connection

Nerds:oh dear , OK you most definitly had a hacker getting in, now try this press Ctrl+Alt+Del at the SAME time, twice

Kid:OK

**kid logs**

Nerds:HAHA etc..

**re-log**

Kid:OMG my system shut down! What is this guy doing

Nerds:he Must be in deep, OK did you press those keys REALLY fast?

Kid: Not REALLY fast but quite fast

Nerds:No it MUST be REALLY fast

kid:OK

**log**

Nerds:HAAHA oh this is brilliant, some elders come on and suggest they leave him alone

**relog**

Kid:nope it shut down again

Nerds:wow OK, do this start->run-> and type command then type "format c"

*logs*

Never to relog again

Anyway this has gone on long enough, im sure one of the nerds will be along shortly with the exact Script because its floating round somewhere! (Ciaran im looking at you )

Long story short, if your not in the know of Pcs DONT go to mirc!

Ciaran500

M@lice

Back in the day of windows 3.11 a simple txt file was displayed to tell you its safe to turn off your computer. At the time all the pcs in the school computer lab were running it. I found the particular .txt file and modified it to read ("insert name here" is GAY!!!) and repeat several times. Ah the imature glee.

I remeber this one guy who was annoyed by the secretary using the crapiest standard wallpapers that come with windows as standard so he renamed all the *.bmp files in the windows folder to *.haha

Deltree that was it!

Anyway I knew I could trust in you Ciaran
