another cruel joke is to take a screenshot of the desktop when you click the start menu, go to the furthest file that you can something like, programs, accessories, system tools. Then save the screenshot, set it to background, unlock the taskbar and remove it, then delete all the desktop shortcuts. What you now have is an illusion that somebody was using the computer and for whatever reason is locked up and nothing works except the mouse moves around. When none of the icons work, when the start menu is drawn out out and is unresponsive and restarting doesn't fix the computer you can laugh your ass off watching somebody scratch their ass trying to figure out WTF is wrong with the computer
