Cool computer prank to do to a friends computer

This will allow any user to click on the icons on the desktop and nothing will happen.

Nothing will happen when you click anything else on the desktop.

1. Close out of all programs you might be in

2. Hit the "Print Scrn" button on the top right part of your keyboard

3. Open "MS Paint" and then "Paste", (choose yes if any popup shows up)

4. Now "Save" name this file "background", then close out of Paint

5. Now right click anywhere on the desktop and choose "Active Desktop", then click on "Show Desktop Icons"

6. Move the "task bar" down as far as you can

7. Again right click anywhere on the desktop and now click on "Properties"

8. Click the "Browse" button and find the picture you saved in step #4, choose this file and then click "open"

9. Now in the white area find the word "background" and click on this.

10. You are now done

what's even better is if you do that, then move the icons, print screen again, set as background, and keep doing this till there are icons everywhere, so you can't tell which is the right one. The only problem is that if you just click somewhere on the screen and drag your mouse, it highlights the real icons and not the background

if you are using a mac, hold down: control, option, and the apple key at the same time. Then with those still held down hit the 8 key.

well maybe you should have typed that then? in the instructions you put "show desktop icons" which made no sense. proof read before posting.
