What is the best way to set up the Bomb prank?

For the best reaction, try these tips:

  • Use the command line launch mode to make it look like a specific program crashed -- target a program the person uses frequently
  • Create a shortcut that runs bomb.exe with their favorite application as the argument, and replace their usual shortcut with it
  • Running it standalone (without a target program) works well too -- just rename it to something they might click
  • The 5-second delay in launch mode is perfect -- just long enough for them to start using the program before the "crash" appears
