used to be fun at the office to take a screenshot of someone desktop, and make it the desktop background, then put all their icons into one folder.

  • Screenshot of desktop
  • Flip 180°
  • Set as desktop background
  • Right-click desktop -> Hide Desktop Icons

Edit: Markdown is dumb

Edit 2: Oh and hide the taskbar too

Did this to my brother once but i screenshotted the desktop with a webpage open on some dodgey porn site. It was not a maximised window so you could see the desktop making it seem more legitimate.

Flip the screenshot 180°, but then also flip the display output 180°, so it looks all normal, except the cursor movement is "inverted".

Classic prank. I've done this before.
