Geeky Troll Part 1

Introduction


Trolling or simply annoying some people using jokes and pranks. Well you cannot complete your trolling experience without using one of the most used device in the world, the computer. But I will show simple tricks and those tricks that cannot harm someones PC.

Okay Let's start

The shutdown prank

This prank will simply shutdown and display a message when a user clicked the shortcut/program.

Step 1: Right-click in your desktop and Click New--Shortcut






Step 2: Type "Shutdown -s -t 100 -c "Trojan Horse Activated"
Note: -t 100 means that in 100 seconds the computer will shutdown (change it for more fun)
-c "Trojan Horse Activate" will display the text inside the "" when they clicked it.

Click next then finish














But that doesn't look convincing right?
Now let's pick a software in the desktop to follow. 
In this tutorial i'll choose chrome because it is a frequently used software.













Step 3: Now Right-Click the software you want to copy and click "Properties" Then "Change Icon"
Copy the link you see above


















Step 4: Now do the same with the shortcut you created, Right-Click it, Choose "Properties"--"Change Icon". Paste the path you copied recently to the path now and hit Enter.

You'll now see the icons of Google Chrome, Choose the appropriate Icon then click ok then apply.
Just rename your shutdown.exe icon then delete/hide the google chrome original icon.

Enjoy!

  1. Hi there!

    Great blog, you always post lots of interesting tips, activities and trivia! This post made me laugh, I'll have to try it. One of my other favourite 'trolls' is to switch the start up sound to something like... say, gun fire and explosions, and have the volume set to max. Works especially well if the victim uses earphones!
    I was wondering if you would be interested in sharing your blog on Glipho? We're a new social blogging network, and we're trying to build a strong community of creative writers for our site. It's really easy to import your blog to Glipho! If you fancy, have a look around at http://glipho.com.

    Thanks for your time, and keep up the brilliant blog (and pranks!)

    Teo
