Computer Pranks v2

I remember making a thread like this about a year ago but it didn't really go anywhere, so let's see if I have better luck this time.

This is the prank I posted in the last thread.

2.Now go to your internet desktop icon and right click. Go to Properties. Now click change icon. You're not going to change the icon yet but you need to do this. Now there should be some text in the upper part of the window. Copy it and close the window.

3.Now this is why you need a backup link to the internet. You must delete the shortcut to the internet on your desktop.

4.Now right click on your desktop and go to new then shortcut. You'll get a create shortcut wizard. Type in shutdown -s -t 1 -c "..". In the ".." you can type whatever you want. The 1 represents the time they have left until the computer shuts down. You can change it to whatever you want. Now click on next and and give it the same name as your internet browser.

5.Now right click on your new shortcut and go to properties. Click change icon and now go to the text on the top like before and erase it and replace with the text you copied earlier. Hit enter and the icons should change to the one you had on your browser shortcut. Click it and press OK. Then in the properties window behind it click apply.

Finally just move to your old shortcut's place and there you go.

Then there's the one that everyone knows about where you take a screenshot of your desktop, set it as wallpaper, and hide your icons. Simple but funny.
