What is the best way to set up the Blue Screen of Death prank?
For the best effect, try these strategies:
- Wait for them to leave: Run it while your target steps away from their desk, so they return to what appears to be a crashed computer
- Startup folder trick: Place a shortcut in their Windows Startup folder so the fake BSOD appears every time they log in
- Rename the file: Rename the executable to something inconspicuous so it blends in with other files on the desktop
