What is the best way to set up the Flip It prank?

For maximum confusion:

  • Rename the executable: Give it a name like "Important Update" or "System Check" so the target clicks it without suspecting anything
  • Desktop shortcut: Create a shortcut on their desktop with a convincing name and icon
  • Startup folder: Place it in their Windows Startup folder so it appears every time they log in -- press Win+R, type shell:startup, and press Enter
  • Wait for a reaction: The upside-down text is confusing enough that most people will stare at it for a while before figuring out what happened
