I liked alot of em, some of them were tastless though. Heres one, on somone elses PC try this, it can produce some very interesting results. This is done using the "cntrl" + "printscreen" keys. What you basically are doing is taking a screenshot and using it as your desktop.
Sounds harmless, but there is almost an unlimited amount of trouble that can be caused by this. Try and hide all the icons before you take the screenshot, so you've basically just got the taskbar footer thing, whatever its called. you can hide the icons behind it even, although they will stick out just a tad. If you do this exactly right and get lucky the icons will be hidden behind the real icons. So now to the fun part. Before you take the snapshot, make a fake .exe file, like named "f_you.exe" or whatever, or even a fake folder, or even open a folder. So when you take your screen shot, then set that bitmap as your desktop theme, an icon will appear, but they will be unable to interact with it.
You can do this with the taskbar too, take a screenshot like meantion, then minimize the taskbar. Even computer experts will be stumped.
