April Fool’s Day!

April Fool’s! Oh… it is? No it- … oh. Whatever! Who thought up this weird holiday anyways…
Anyways, have fun tricking random people, friends, and family members today! If you know somebody who’s on the computer a lot, here’s a neat prank you can do.
1. Close all windows on the target computer/user/login.
2. Locate and press the “Print Screen” button on your keyboard. This will put a screenshot of the screen in your clipboard, which is where stuff goes when you copy/paste and stuff like that.
3. Open Paint and go to Edit -> Paste (or pressCtrl-V).
4. Go to File -> Set as Background (Stretched) - it shouldn’t LOOK like the target’s background changed at all.
5. Open your Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Delete/Ctrl-Shift-Escape). Go to the processes tab, and locate “explorer.exe” or “Windows Explorer” - this is the “program” that lets users navigate through Windows. Click on it and click End Process.
Ta-da! It looks like the target’s computer is fully functional, but in reality, they can’t do anything - the background just makes it look like stuff is there. Try to watch them as they try to access their “working” computer.
Have fun!

Ahahahaha!! That made me laugh so hard. But can’t you just open task manager and restart the explorer.exe process? Cuz I’ve accidentally deleted that process, then I just started it up again and it worked fine, I didn’t have to restart my computer. Did you actually do that to someone?

No I’ve never done it to anybody.
And you are probably right - I’ve just never had to do it, so I wouldn’t really know XD
