And the absolute worst one of the 'pranks' to apply in early windblows was to change the color of all text, background, foreground and everything else to black.snip
I used to mess with everyone in the office over that... I would switch letters on their keyboards (I remapped mine to DVORAK and kept the physical keyboard as QWERTY so no one could mess with mine) I still lock my PC every time I get up even working at home alone...
My favorite thing to do in the late 90's early 00's was to screenshot their PC, move all their desktop icons to a hidden folder, move the taskbar to the top or side and hide it, then set said screenshot as their wallpaper and sit and watch
And then just wait until they re-booted…
It was an evil prank requiring a complete system reload…
Unless someone knew ALL of the command key equivalents for navigating AND could remember how to get to the color assignment palate AND knew the computer was running normally, in the first place…
I figure only a died in the wool computer geek would ever use this and probably only against another geek, just because…
