LoL, One guy even wanted to change his keyboard!

I think it's my second favorite one to loading up their startup folder with URLs so that every time they turn the PC on their web browser spawns a ton of windows.

Take a screenshot of their desktop, and save it as their background. Hide or delete all their icons (If certain permissions are locked, move them off-screen or hide offscreen using the recycle bin as the "corner" item selected so the others will move offscreen as a group. You must turn off icon auto-arrange or your target will figure it out fast. Disable in the registry if you know how). When they come back, they will be clicking all their shortcuts, trying to open ANYTHING... but all they are really doing is left-clicking on the desktop and nothing is clickable. You might have to play with this one a bit if you're capturing the taskbar - can also set it to keep windows on top of the task bar, then HIDE the taskbar... so the time never changes There was a flash application going around that blinked the screen, turned your volume up all the way and played a .wav "HEY, EVERYONE! I'm LOOKING AT PORNO OVER HERE! WOOHOO!" The "woohoo" made it hilarious. I have the Mother of all Computer Desktop pranks, I’ll let you have it here.

The good ol' days. I did notice one important one you missed. How could you forget about shrink wrapping someone’s (Dale) car? I can still remember looking out the window as he walked to his car. The ink on the headset is a great idea. I've been using shoe polish for that little jewel, but the smell gives it away sometimes. Back in the day, I managed a small inside sales group for a software company. I had a certain employee that I couldn’t get rid of so I went in to her account deck and randomly changed some of her contact phone numbers to 911. We were using a contact manager program named telemagic that would auto dial your phone for you. You can figure out what happened next…. j- Ahhh… The good ol’ days.
