Hello again and welcome to Up All Night! I'm a knight, I'm a horse, neigh!

Last week on the show, we covered a bunch of great ways to prank. Now, today I'm gonna do the same thing all over again because I have no imagination. It's opposite day!

We begin today with a PC trick. We're gonna remap the Internet Explorer icon. First, I need to find myself a screen saver, so I'm gonna go down to the Start menu and go to search all files and folders. I'm gonna search asterisk dot SCR, and your screen savers will show up. A really quick and easy way to get the target destination for these screen savers is to right-click on them and send them to the desktop as a shortcut.

Now that I've got a shortcut for the screen saver on my desktop, I can right-click on the icon, choose properties, and then copy the target destination. Once I've got that on my clipboard, I'm going to go up to my Internet Explorer icon, right-click, properties, and paste in the screen saver target destination.

Now, anytime someone comes to this computer to open up Internet Explorer, they get the screen saver. They can always move the mouse to cancel the screen saver, but when they try to open Internet Explorer again, boom! Screen saver, screen saver, over and over and over again. If you want to be really silly, you can change the target destination to this code, which you'll find in the description. When double-clicked, an icon with this destination will actually restart the entire computer.

Oh no! My saddle is my clothes!

We're all fans of the slow minimize, but did you know that you can use terminal to freeze the slow minimize while it's happening? All you have to do is open up terminal, applications, utilities, terminal. Type in kill all space doc do ck with a capital D, but don't press ENTER. Now go to any type of window that you want to mess up and hold down shift, then click minimize. You'll get a weird wavy pattern. Go back to terminal quickly and press ENTER, and boom! The window is frozen in a weird shape but can still be used. It's completely functional!

That's more cool than a bag of oats! And of course, to return it to its normal shape, all you have to do is minimize the window and bring it back up again.

Copy the JavaScript in this video's description and paste it into your browser's address bar. Press Enter, and all of a sudden every image on the screen will break free and spin around like crazy. Oh, pretty! I'm gonna be glue someday!
