Fun computer pranks

What are some pranks you like playing with people on computers? One of my favorites is to switch the mouses of two adjacent computers. Always surprises people.

Another good one, if you get the chance, is to take a screenshot of your friend's desktop, then set that as the background. Hide the Taskbar and put their icons in folder somewhere, hide the Recycle Bin, and pretend you don't know what's going on.

Another more mischievous one is to go into their boot.ini file and add:

/MAXMEM=[insert number here without brackets]

This, according to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb963892.aspx,
Quote:
[l]imits Windows to ignore (not use) physical memory beyond the amount indicated. The number is interpreted in megabytes. Example: /MAXMEM=32 would limit the system to using the first 32 MB of physical memory even if more were present.

Science promotes the idea that humans are *more* evolved than anything else. It backs it up with rational theories.
