    Anyone tried this prank...?

    Take screenshot of the desktop, then set that as the background image.
    Now auto-hide the taskbar and move it to the top of the screen, or the side.

    Or, just take the ball out of the mouse. Simple, yet oh so effective...

    Move the person's computer and take a photo of what is directly behind it. upload the photo and set it to the background wallpaper.

    Thus transparent monitor.

    You have to be smart to do this right though. That discounts 99% of VBFers.
