Once again, do this when they are away from the computer. Open up the control panel, click mouse, and go to buttons, click the box that says switch primary and secondary buttons, then make the double click speed the fastest possible.

Then, go to pointers, and change their normal select mouse to the load sign they normally use.
Finally, go to pointer options, and set the pointer speed to the slowest possible.

You shall now have a confusing mouse to use, and if your friend is an idiot on a computer, he wont be able to fix it.

IMPORTANT:  You mean to change the pointer SPEED, like you say in the text. 

If you want to change the slider that it shows, move the slider to the FAST setting. this means they have to be Superman on a computer to open it with a double-click. If it's on the slow click, they won't notice a change.

my double-click speed is set to full all of the time. You realy dont need to be Superman to do that.

But most people don't, and when it doesn't work for them at their normal double-clicking speeds, they probably won't try doing it faster.

 Oops, I mean the slider for the folder opening speed in the first photo.

The automatically move pointer to default button means it just goes straight to the button that is normally pressed, if you see what i mean. It is bloody annoying. Good trick.
