making very slight alterations to usernames or passwords is hilarious. You can use the same victim a half dozen times before they catch on.

What exactly is your job anyway?

I think my official title is something like desktop publisher or documentation specialist or something like that. But I cover all the IT in office as well as writing the help files

You wouldn't happen to be the person who writes scripts for those annoying explanation people for those 'educational' programs would you? Because if you are I hate you. You've cost me so much time and effort, whilst my screams echoed across the computer lab "I already know this! I have an IQ above twenty, You don't need to explain it fifty times in a row!"

Okay then, no hard feelings.

Amateur. But I suppose that's the best you can do without administrative access.

Well, Freak! Administrative access opens up a whole new ballgame!!        

switching the mice or monitor cables of two computers close to each other is also good.

Along the lines of passwords, you can also swith the M and N on the keyboard. Most people do not touch type, but glance, This is especially good on a "not-so-computer-savvy' secretary who has an M or N in their password.

I also like changing the settings on people's spam filters
they either start getting much more or much less email than they expect.

haha,
Hmmmm.. maybe try changing a users name to someone else, so they will no longer recognize it, then create a new login with their same name and password.

When they log in, they will get a brand spankin' new, extra crisp and fresh windows logon!

A couple years ago, my family and I wrote up some "Hogwart's admission letters" and stuffed them under the door of one of our friends who is obsessed with Harry Potter.  It was quite amusing.

That's awesome.

Take an optical mouse and put a small post-it note over the light on the bottom.  Bonus:  Write April Fools on the post-it.

I did this to a co-worker one year and it took her at least 20 minutes of turning off her computer and messing with the cables before she figured out it was the mouse.  

Very funny.

Similar thing on older technology is to remove the ball.
