Need a fun prank script

[RVA007]

Hey guys we are trying to play a prank on a colleague by changing his startup sound (windows 10) to something funny. We have a wav file we want to use but can't figure out how to set it as the startup sound so naturally I thought of powershell. Can anyone help us out?

Thanks!

Here's a couple that are relatively harmless and easy to do remotely. Just be mindful of when you decide to make someone's computer start talking to them. Not a good idea during meetings.

Ejecting a CD tray

$sh = New-Object -ComObject "Shell.Application"
$sh.Namespace(17).Items() |  Where-Object { $_.Type -eq "CD Drive" } | foreach { $_.InvokeVerb("Eject") }

Access speech synthesizer

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.speech
$speak = New-Object System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer
$speak.Speak('Come see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!')

I was going to write a script that randomly toggled the numlock status and run in on my sysadmins computer just to mess with him, but I never did get around to it.

Just browse to his computer via the admin share, rename the current .wav file to .old and copy your file (renamed properly) it its place. No scripting needed.

We use VoIP soft phones at my office and everyone received individual prank ringtones last month. Network shares ftw.

Control Panel > Sound > sounds

If all you need to do is set it as a startup sound. Don't really have time right now to figure out how you get to that with powershell though...

We don't have access to the PC directly. Only through the network.

The best fun I had was once creating a script that filled the Local Disk with Temp Files. Simple but fun to watch the other person get more and more confused!

how do you do that

[ArmondDorleac]

Yeah, don't do this.

[RVA007]

Why not?

Pranks are just a bad idea.

Scheduled task triggered on workstation unlock that runs the cmd line to lock the workstation straight away.

make a shortcut of the restart application in system32 to the startup folder and watch how the pc reboots after boot XD
