5. Changing The Keyboard Layout
This will really give you victim a headache – and good for us, doesn’t require anything to be installed on their computer. Simples.
Instructions
Head to the Control Panel > Region and Language > Keyboards > Change Keywords now add any layout that you think will do the most damage to their lives.
Windows 8 users: Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region > Change Input Method.
Top Tip: Try the “Dvorak Layout”. Most people are unaware that this layout even exists. You can flip over to the language bar tab and set that as hidden so that they won’t be able to figure it out that easy.
2. Permanently Busy Mouse Pointer
That annoying busy circle. Forever. Banish your friends to permanent frustration with this quick and easy method to cause a headache. How long can you get your friends to sit and wait for a computer to finish loading?
Instructions
Go to Control Panel > Mouse > Pointers now select the pointer which says busy or browse, select busy and click on Apply.
Windows 8 users: Control Panel > Hardware and Sound then select Mouse > Pointers.
Easy.
3.Activate High Contrast Quickly
Only got a few seconds to ruin your friends day? That is understandable, we are all busy. Just quickly activate the high contrast mode and see how long it takes for them to figure out how to fix that.
To activate high contrast mode just press the following combination of keys:
Shift + Alt + Printscreen
Done. To undo, just press the same keys again.
2. Make The Computer Type “SPACE” Every Time The Spacebar Is Pressed
This one is deliciously evil. When your victim presses the spacebar, their computer will type “SPACE” instead of giving what they actually are looking for. They will surely go mad wondering what on Earth is going on!
To stop the script running, right click on the system tray icon and click on exit.
