Not really funny, that's hurtful.

If you want to do something fun and not hurtful try this.

Set up your screen to the same resolution as his and the same background pic. Clear all your icons off your desktop. Make a folder called Important Docs, hide the task bar and take a screen shot. The set that as his desktop background and say "Hey man I put some important docs on your desktop you should take a look at"

He will spend hours trying to click the folder.

I've done that before.

Another good one is replacing the empty recycle bin icon with a full one so they get pissed off when windows won't let them empty it.

If you can get to his computer, take a screenshot of his desktop with all the icons, set it as the background, and then hide all his icons (it's possible, i just can't remember how to do it anymore though *sadface*). He will spend hours trying to click his shortcuts etc. and you'll get a good laugh


Edit: Found a link explaining how to show/hide icons here: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...hide-show.html

Rule #1 of April Fools jokes: Don't make people worry about serious things (prison, relationships, etc). A lot of the time, they'll go majorly wrong, or the person will hold a grudge.

Rule #2 If you break Rule #1, make them think someone else played the prank.

Much more entertaining to watch your friend click on his wow shortcut, only to run a .bat file that executes a fork bomb. (repeatedly muahaha) GLHF

It's funnier when you put it in their startup folder :P

I used to have a batch file that created a 2gb allocation, which I put it in someone's startup folder.

Also, a really simple prank I did to someone in college, they left their laptop and went to a restaraunt nearby for a quick lunch, so I set their home page to 'hotmale.com', and told them when they got back. To which they responded "I don't use hotmail though..." then opened firefox.

Good times.

Done the desktop icons thing, other time edited the target on all the shortcuts to a ...funny image, placed my wireless mouse receiver on his pc, etc... goood times.
