In this tutorial you will learn how to annoy the people that use the same computer as you. You will need Windows XP and a graphic editing program (Paint will do fine).

First of all, go to you desktop and hit the Print Screen (PrtSc) button. This will take a screen shot of your desktop. Open up a graphic editing program, I am using paint, and hit Ctrl+V to paste the screen shot onto the canvas. Make sure the canvas is the same size as the screen shot. Save the screen shot any where you want.

Now set the screen shot of your desktop as the desktop background by right clicking on the desktop then clicking on ‘Properties’, click on the ‘Desktop’ Tab and browse for you image. Once you have made this your background get out of the display properties window.

Right click on the desktop and untick ‘Show Desktop Icons’.

Now your icons should be gone, but it should still look like they are there because of the screen shot we took earlier. Now right click on the task bar down the bottom, or on the right of the screen in my case and click on properties. A window should come up. Make sure ‘Auto-Hide the Taskbar’ is turned on. Now the task bar will disappear, but it should still look like it is there. You can still access the taskbar by taking your mouse to the bottom of the screen (or where ever your taskbar is) and there is a little line. Hover it over that and the taskbar will come up.

Now if anyone tries to click on any of the icons or the start menu it wont work, and they will very frustrated.
