Guest mk47 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 there used to be a program years back when i was at school called sub 7 which used to let you do that. you just have to put a file on their pc somewhere (email as attachment etc) and that used to let you access their pc from yours.

michael Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Some Graphics card software will allow you to do this, otherwise you can get little bits of software to mess with people. http://www.rjlsoftware.com/software/entertainment/ http://www.computerpranks.com/ etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 It was pretty dangerous though, opened people up to all kinds of backdoor activity, keylogging etc - you had to remember to set the Sub7 server password on the PC you'd "taken" to stop other people playing with them. I think you could use it turn on webcams and stuff too, I only really went as far as hiding cursors and ejecting CD trays... honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Some HP PCs let you change the desktop orientation with key combinations: Ctl-Alt and a cursor key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-jdm Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 back oraffice was good to similar to sub 7, sub 7 had a better gui tho and more options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiversteve Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I work on a bit of Pc controlled machinery sometimes. Occasionally on reboot, its touch screen will invert the cursor operation. If you touch top right, the cursor moves to bottom left. Customers not happy! But if you gambled on several restarts it eventually puts itself right again. Running on Linux and I dont know enough about the PC or Graphics card as it is all built into one. I also have a CD somewhere with loads of harmless? pranks on it.

colsoop Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Take a print screen image of the desktop screen then set it as the desktop wallpaper then hide all the original icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Take a print screen image of the desktop screen then set it as the desktop wallpaper then hide all the original icons. That would work pretty well - especially if you moved the taskbar to the top of the screen, and then configured it to hide unless the mouse cursor is moved up there. He'll then be trying to click the "Start" button in bottom left, and it won't do anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Take a print screen image of the desktop screen then set it as the desktop wallpaper then hide all the original icons. that's exactly what I was going to suggest. I've done it before to someone I sat next to. I didn't flip the screen. I laughed for hours after watching this guy trying desperately to double click, select and drag his icons and wondering what the hell was going on so easy to do, you could flip the image before setting it as the desktop - hide the original icons somewhere in a folder. Installing sub7, back orifice etc is asking for trouble, especially in the work place, some companies would probably consider that gross misconduct if they found out...

JustGav Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Just install VNC on their machine, and random move the mouse a little, after a while they will start checking their mouse... Either that or tap on the keyboard under VNC, and just throw some random characters at them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Restorer Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Why not stick a little cmd file in their profile that runs "shutdown -l". It'll instantly log them off their computer, but will work fine for eveyone else. We did it with a guy at work, after he kept unplugging our monitors. Worked a treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
