Small computer prank

Basically we are going to end explorer on the target computer, in the final step I will also tell you how to shutdown another computer if both are on the same network.

Step 1 Open task manager

press Ctrl, Shift, and escape or use Ctrl, Alt, Delete command and bring up task manager

Some computers restart explorer.exe when it is terminated or crashes. My school computers do

I know one! This will make all the icons disappear off the desktop. XP: >Right click in an open space on the desktop > Go to the submenu "Arrange Icons By" and then uncheck "Show Desktop Icons" VISTA >Right click in an open space on the desktop >Go to "View" and then uncheck Show desktop Icons

Can you undo the task bar thing?

To 'undo' it, you would need to open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) and open 'Run' by Clicking 'File' -> 'New Task (Run...)'. When the Run box comes up, just type in 'explorer.exe' and click OK. This will restart the explorer shell and bring up the taskbar & start menu again. Some of the icons in the task tray (the area next to the clock on the task bar) might not come back up; this is normal so don't worry - most will reappear if you logout / login. If not, a reboot (switch it off and on again) should work. Overall, good step by step guide using images but it could do with more detail.

is there any way to undo it?

if you want to undo it all you have to do is click file, run, then type in explorer.exe, it should fix it
