842121 2009-12-21 23:04:00 Was a pretty popular vid a while ago about someone who swapped out his mates MW2 disk for just rickrolls – was quite funnny but I saw it after the fact, the fact being that my mate tried the same thing to me .

Wasn't funny .

Actually it was, I kinda exploded with laughter when the first song came on . I shouldn't buy games off friends anymore . But now I HAVE to get back at him . And that **** doesn't fly after he's done it to me . Need some ideas, preferably computer/gaming related so its on the same level

842123 2009-12-21 23:32:00 Saw a good one a while back -- take a screen shot of the normal desktop with nothing open, with icons etc. Edit it to remove the taskbar - THEN right click the desktop / view - untick show desktop icons.

NOW right click the blank desktop, change wall paper to the one you just took.

In all respects it looks like the normal desktop, BUT of course none of the icons work as they are hidden.The programs from start menu of course will -- Has them wondering why things dont open (evil bugger eh!!) :rolleyes:

I love to do that to stores demo PCs. Except make a folder on the desktop called "Johns Porn" (Or any employee). Then do the above and delete the folder. Now you have an undeletable folder called "Johns Porn".
