"Glitched" Computer Prank [Super Easy]

 by Pichu47
Ever wanted to pull a computer prank on your friend/co-worker/family but never had the computer knowledge to do so? Well now you can! This prank is uber easy, and only requires a couple of steps to tell the whole thing. The prank will result in the victim being able to move the mouse, but not clicking on anything. This prank can easily be reverted by restarting the computer or (if you are tech savvy) going into Task Manager and starting Explorer.exe again. Shall we get started? :D Note, it does not work properly on my computer, but Ac1d said it works on all windows computers from windows 98 and up.

Step 1: Opening Task Manager

You can open task manager by pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE at the same time. This will open up a menu with tasks such as, Shut down computer, etc. Click on the last one on the list, which is open task manager. Now task manager is open! ^.^

To obvious. Also, in this prank, the victim can move the mouse, which makes them even more annoyed.

Work on any windows version, from 98(maybe before, not sure) to windows 8.
How to fix it: Hold down the windows key on your keyboard, and press R. In the box, write: Explorer.exe.
