hi,
I want to play a Prank on one of my mates who thinks he is really
clever and can never get caught out. Just ot clear up its nothing
illegal i am using my own network and will do it on my own PC.
I was thinking of a blue screen scenerio with lots of live messages
from my other PC. So it updates continuously. Also need the Cd drive
to keep on coming out and in. And any other other ideal are welcome.
The setup will be as follows:
My Machines downstairs connected to the router with IP 192.168.0.2,
will control software of the other machine.
The Router in the middle
The other machine, my mate, maybe not after this though, firewall
accepts local connections, 192.168.0.3. They are both running XP.
So need ideas for software and and additions to this pranks. I got a
few hours to burn so go as wild as u like with the ideas

I got that one. Something similar but i need a live feed of data which
will come from my PC. And something basic to control the DVD drives
and disable the mouse and things.
 
Google search for computer pranks...there are a ton of them on sites that
are harmless to the computer
 
i found this file a while back and
saved it. it is called "project halloween script.txt"
---------------------------

Copy the bit between the dashed lines (NOT including the lines) into Notepad and save as "halloween.vbs".
Get a suitable bitmap (bmp) file showing the picture that you want at a suitable resolution.
Get the wav file for a scream or whatever.
Copy both into c:\windows on your target's PC (and your own for testing).
Edit Halloween.vbs to set a suitable time delay (line 7),
change the bitmap name (line 24) and the wav name (line 38) to suit your files and
set how long you want the change to stay up (line 45).

Test on your PC! Copy Halloween.vbs to the target PC C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

The program will start as she logs in and will wait for the preset delay before changing the wallpaper - just time to get settled.

I hoped that I'd find the code to ramp up the volume to Full but that will have to wait until next year.

Hope it works! Test it today. I've got one day left to debug it!
-----------------------------------------
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set oDesktop=CreateObject("Shell.Application")

' Set the value to the number of seconds that you want to wait. i.e. 300000 is five minutes

wscript.sleep 300000

' OK, now DO IT!

' Minimise all of the working windows for full effect

oDesktop.MinimizeAll

' Get and save the old wallpaper

sOldWallpaper = oShell.RegRead("HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper")

' New wallpaper. This should be a bitmap (.bmp) of a suitable resolution
' Copy the bmp to C:\Windows
' Replace the filename with your gruesome bitmap

sWinDir = oFSO.GetSpecialFolder(0)
sWallPaper = sWinDir & "\sky.bmp"

' Update in registry

oShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper", sWallPaper

' Let the system know about the change

sCommand = _
"%windir%\System32\RUNDLL32.EXE user32.dll,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters"
oShell.Run sCommand,1,True

' Play a sound
' Copy a scream or whatever wav file into C:\Windows

sSoundFile = sWinDir & "\tada.wav"

sCommand = "sndrec32 /play /close " & chr(34) & sSoundFile & chr(34)
oShell.Run sCommand, 0, False

' Time to display the Halloween wallpaper in ms

wscript.sleep 10000

' Put it back - Update in registry

oShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper", sOldWallPaper

sCommand = _
"%windir%\System32\RUNDLL32.EXE user32.dll,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters"
oShell.Run sCommand,1,True

' Put the Windows back

Does anyone know of a program that will let me control the drives of
the computer and let me view the comuters normal desktop but with my
mate still seeing little program that i devised. Thanx for that VB
script works a treat.
 
glad you like it.
but i don't have any
clues pranks. maybe i'm
too old.

if you want to control
his desktop remotely, then
you might want to use "simple
desktop". you can manuver
the mouse and other things
while he is on that computer
at the same time.

but this requires both pc being
logged onto the service.
