back in the days of MS-DOS, using ansi.sys, I made a small .bat (and then converted to .com) file that would swap the Space bar ascii code for the 255 code (that provided an empy space). I renamed that small .com file also to ALT+255.com (making it look like " .com") and made it invisible. In the end of the autexec.bat file, I type the name of the executable file (" "). you could not see that there was anything there. My friends would go insane becase everytime they pressed space bar, the screen would indeed output a space, but it would always give an invalid directory error. It was so fun to watch.

Another prank, was a very bad one I admit. With the help of a friend, we made a fake Quake 1 loader. While it was outputting a lot of cool techno jibberjabber to the screen, it was running on the background a deltree /y c:\. > nul

This was a bad one, but hey. It was the time of Anarchy cookbook, and floppy disk bombs, and all those crazy things :) Cheers
