My favorite was screenshotting the screen then moving their icons and taskbar to a second monitor that was not plugged in.

Non-destructice hijinks were highly encouraged at my first job. It was a way to encourage people to remember to lock up their computers when they stepped away.
So mouse button settings were often reversed, hotkeys were mapped, desktop backgrounds were modified, and basically every other non-destructive computer prank was pulled.

You can also toggle icons off.

Open a lot of windows and screenshot it for the new background picture. Was always funny to watch people desperately trying to close all the windows.

My favorite was to take a screenshot of the desktop and set it as the desktop Then put all of the icons into a folder. Most people I left the folder on the desktop. The IT guys, the folder was then hidden.

You are the reason I use ls and cd instead of a foss file manager.

I remember it was a common prank in my office, for coworkers that didn’t lock their workstations, to set their homepage to hampster-dance.
At a LAN party we once messed with a friend’s desktop background. He had a picture of himself and a girlfriend in what I assume was his dorm room as his background. We wanted to take the poster in the background and photoshopped it to something funny. Someone had a bizarre picture of a bunch of dudes in Ninja Turtle masks. One of them was holding some chick in a skirt upside down and I think holding a fist against her panties. That photo was so bizarre it sticks in my mind.
I have no idea if he ever realized it. I felt bad afterward when I found out he was MIA at the LAN Party because of an unpleasant medical issue…
