Shutdown prank


You can do a lot of pranks using computer and it feels so good when some one falls for it ( I m not wicked..!! ). Most of the pranks will make others freak out. Here is one prank which will make the system to shutdown when clicked on a folder.

This involves creating an icon which looks like a folder and when anyone clicks on it the system will shutdown. To make this work follow these steps :

  • Right Click on your desktop and select New > Shortcut
  • Type shutdown -s -t 120 -c ” Comment ” in the box ( Here You can type anything in place of comments and if you don’t want any comment just remove -c “comment” in the above address ).
  • Click Next and type a name for this shortcut.
  • Click Finish and You are provided with a shortcut.
  • Now change the icon by right clicking on the shortcut and clicking on properties and then change icon.
  • Choose the icon you want ( Normal folder icon is preferrable )
  • Thats it and when any one clicks on it the computer shuts down automatically after some time you have given above. ( In the first step 120 indicates the seconds left for the shut down )

Here the timer will indicate in how many minutes the computer will shutdown. There is only one way to stop it. It is as follows:

  • Click Start > Run
  • In Run type cmd and click enter
  • In the command prompt type shutdown -a and click enter
  • Then the shutdown will stop.
