Switch the Windows Startup and Shutdown splash screens.

1. Back up the following files to a floppy or "safe" folder: C:LOGO.SYS and C:WINDOWSLOGOS.SYS
2. Change the attributes for LOGO.SYS and LOGOS.SYS - turn off read-only.
3. Change the name of LOGO.SYS to LOGOS.SYS
4. Change the name of LOGOS.SYS to LOGO.SYS


When your "victim" boots up the machine, he'll get the "It is now safe to shutdown your computer" message, and the startup screen on shutdown. Your victim's machine may not have a LOGO.SYS file. If not, make a copy of LOGOS.SYS, save it as LOGO.SYS, and you'll get the shutdown menu on startup.

^^ That only works on 9x systems. On NT-based systems, you need to reshack ntoskrnl.exe and logonui.exe to change those screens. Too much work for a simple prank.

That is evil. I hated having my account not able to change some registry values, even though I am in the Admin group.

Just call me Dr. Evil :laugh:
