Computer based pranks to do to a remote PC
Discussion
So... I work in IT, and our receptionist is always playing jokes on me when she passes my desk. Anyway, long story short, she is moving into a new job within the same company, and for her last week, I shall treat her to some PC weirdness!
I am after some inspiration though!
The tricks have to be possible remotely - she uses a laptop which is locked away on a night, so unless I can do it remotely, she will know it is being done.
Thought of a few things, sticking things in the startup folder, remotely shutting down or executing tasks, that sort of thing. But I'm sure a few on here can come up with some amusing things to do, so over to you!

I've used these before but not tried them remotely, might need some remote registry tweaks to get them to show or a small batch script to run at certain times.

They have quite a few threads on it and a search function that actually works!

Is there a modern day version of Netsend?
Used to enjoy pinging random screen messages to people in the offices 20 years ago with the old Netware software. Nothing serious, just a randomly delivered message suddenly popping up on a person's screen like - "You are being monitored".
Would freak some out good and proper!

Don't do this, it's not funny and some people, even the ones you think might take it as a joke, often won't. It's also not good for your career unless it's a small company and you're very friendly with the owner/HR director.
It's also not funny.

CTRL + AlT + down left or right arrow turns the screen upside down or 90 degrees to the left or right. Up will return it normally.
Have to do this on the actual PC so if she ever leaves her desk and doesn't lock it do it then.
Does that still work? I used to do it to one of my less technologically gifted colleagues sometimes when we were out on audits together.Have to do this on the actual PC so if she ever leaves her desk and doesn't lock it do it then.
We made our own entertainment in those days.
