(i) Nobody can make a folder on desktop with the name 'con'. Try this trick with your friends if he thinks he is a genius.
(ii) Type "=rand(99)"(Without Quotes) in Microsoft Word and see the magic.
(iii) If you want to annoy your friend, open run and type gpedit.msc , there are many options like remove Shutdown button /log off and many more.
(iv) Open Run And Type prefetch . Delete all the files. This will increase space as well as improve your pc performances.
(v) Open run and type Cookies. Delete all the files.
(vi) Open run and type %temp% . Delete all the files there.
I hope you all like it. Many more to be added.
