How to Troll Someone Else's Computer

Maybe it's just me, but this seems like a great prank if you're moving offices at your job or if you're leaving...it's not doing any real damage, but it's certainly leaving a mark.

There's also the so-called David Hasselhoff attack, which consists on changing the desktop to a picture of The Hoff (a good one is one where he's posing naked with some puppies blocking his privates, google it as "david hasselhoff puppies" if you're not at work / sane). A more elaborated version includes changing the security policies in the control panel afterwards so you can't cange the desktp wall paper.

The ultimate prank would include a combination of that, and the one explained in this post.
