FUNNY NOTEPAD TRICK!

Open up notepad. Then Type This Sentence:

Bush Hid The Facts

Save the file as a normal text file(.txt(should be already there for you)) and close notepad.Now, go back to the notepad file you have saved and open it up. In notepad it should have several of these symbols:[]

FULL MARKS-HACKING TRICKS

You will need the setup CD.Install Full marks into your Documents NOT Your Hard Drive. Then, go into your documents and find the file with the full marks setup files.Go into it and there should be several files.There should also be a application called application.It has a picture of either:Goldie, Sparkie or Brains.Leave that for now, since that will be used for testing.

Firstly, go into a file and look into it.Look at what the files and file types they are.Also look at the file extension.That might Help!

Secondly, See if you can open the files.If you cant or they are notepad ones, then dont bother. The .png files open with paint.Open them with paint and start editing them!

Thirdly, The .wav files in the folder 'waves' are sounds. If You want your own sounds, find them on your computer.Now, convert them(e.g. Xilisoft Video Converter)and save them in that folder.Rename the file into another name that is already there.Whala! now youve replaced a rubbish sound file with your very own!

Lastly, Go back to the main folder with the application called application and open up application.(You could go to your dektop and click the shortcut-but its a shortcut and isnt quite worth it.)

Youve got your very own Hacked Full Marks!

UAC privileges is required.

Then Click on SOFTWARE.After That, click on Microsoft then Windows NT, then CURRENT USER or CURRENT VERSION(Depending on which system you have).After that, click on Winlogon.On the right pane(The big pane with a load of values) click on LegalNoticeCaption.(Double Click It)This will bring up a box.In the box, write what you want at the top of the message.Click OK then double click on LegalNoticeText.It should bring up a box.Again, write in the blank box what you want it to say, but in the main part of the message(The actual message itself).Then Click OK.Restart your computer and see your message!

FAKE SHUTDOWN PRANK

This ones quite good! Its also quite easy!  It basically runs, then shuts down the computer.You can also have your own message!

firstly,the messages differ on windows xp to vista:

                    

                        ^^^WINDOWS XP's Shutdown Message.^^^

            WINDOWS VISTA'S ONE IS JUST A MESSAGE,THE TIME IS HIDDEN.

 

 To make this prank, first right click your desktop. Then hover over New. Then click on New Shortcut.

Type in :

shutdown -s -t timeinsecondsgoeshere -c "message here with the speech marks"

(s for shutdown.t for time and c for comment.) 

replace the timeinsecondsgohere with your time in seconds. 

put message in the "message here with the speech marks" part.

it should look a bit like this:

shutdown -s -t 60 -c "Youve been F**king PWNED.Trojan found on computer,the computer is shutting down in 60 seconds.Apart from that, would you like a beverage?Hmm.How about coffee?No?Come on...click OK"

(i give you permission to copy this code if you so wish.)

Rename the code to something like Internet etc... 

Right click your new icon and click properties.

Click change icon.

change your icon into something that goes well with the name.

Voula! Youve got a shutdown icon that shuts down!

 How to Stop It:

Go to Start-Run Or Start Search and type:

shutdowm -a

(the a is for abort)  

Task manager won't close it.

Right clicking it won't close it.
