hah, it works perfectly(tested out on my computer), but is there any way to undo it? Because I already tried just erasing what I put in the hosts file and saving, but it still goes to whatever I changed it to in the first place. Here's what happened. I changed it so google.com would goto youtube.com instead. I saved it, it worked good. Now, I tried erasing the line I just put in and saved it. It didn't work as google.com still goes to youtube.com. I even tried making it so google.com would goto http://www.google.com(they have different IP addresses and http://www.google.com still works). But it still didn't work. Any help would be good, thanks. And another thing, love the videos you guys have, they're very informational as well as cool, looking forward to the DNS redirect attack video, keep it up.

Sorry to bring up this old topic on pranks.  but i'm a new member and this worked great for my schools computer lab.

what I did was downloaded a BSOD simulation screen saver, set it to go off after 10 minutes, and disabled mouse movement to stop screen saver in the properties of it.  what this screen saver does.. is simulates the boot process, and fails to bsod, simulates the whole procedure and continues to do it.  right down to when rebooting to show activity on the floppy drive(if you have one still  lol).

then I went to the system32 folder and renamed the desk.cpl file to something other than that, so i knew it as a backup, and what this does is disables the display properties.  so you cant get in and change the screensaver if you wanted too  ;)

next day.. all hell broke loose, comp techs couldnt figure it out.  noone could.  had that day of class off, and I was in pretty good with the teacher, told him the comp techs here are retarded.  have to press Esc to stop the screen saver.  noone could figure that out.  anyways.. fun times fun times.
