Minutes of fun: open up Computer Management, right click on "Computer Management (Local)", type in the name of your victim's machine and click on OK. Next drill down to "Disk Management", right click on the CD-ROM drive and choose Eject. 
Do this every couple of minutes and see how long it takes them to cotton on.
More fun if they have a desktop on their desk rather than a tower tucked away.
Any else got any gags or malarky? (Something like I've got the PCL code somewhere to change the text on the LCD display of HP Laserjet printer from the boring "Ready" to something more fun like "Insert 10p to operate").

LOL we used to to use dameware which allows you to do pretty much anything on someone elses pc without them knowing, not just remote control but total control of services etc etc
We used to delete parts of each others registry, put rude video clips and wav files in startup and scheduler, play them as soon as the manager walked past their desk, especially that wav clip that went round that says "the boss is a c**t"
Oh the fun we had, and the major bollockings we got
How times change

Ok, map the printer to LPT1.
Type this in Edit and save.
[ESC]%-12345X@PJL JOB
@PJL RDYMSG DISPLAY="Any message"
@PJL EOJ
[ESC]%-12345X
([ESC] character which in edit can be entered with Control P then Control [ and shows as an arrow pointing to the left.)
Change "Any message" to what you want (remembering to keep it in "quotes".)
Then copy it to the printer. Job done!

How about the trick using the print screen key to copy a picture of the desktop to the clipboard, then using the image as a desktop wallpaper.
See them spend hours trying to click on a window on their desktop when actually it is on the desktop wallpaper !

The old ones are the favourites...
Set up an autocorrect entry in word. I worked in cheque processing, and we made an autocorrect entry to replace "cheque" with "cheese" everytime someone typed it.
it is also possible, with a registry footling, to replace keymappings fairly permanently on Win2K +... That is a real sod to diagnose
