How to play a prank on your friend by creating fake BSOD.
System crashes are the sad part — what about playing a prank on your friends by creating a fake BSOD of your own? You have to follow the simple steps mentioned below and you’ll have a fake BSOD.
How To Create A Fake BSOD?
- Open a new text file on your desktop.
- Copy the code given below in the text file. Save the text file by pressing CTRL+S.
- Rename the text file as fakebsod.bat.
Important: There are chances you may not be able to change the extension because the file extensions are hidden by default in Windows 7 and later. So, you have to enable them. Open Start and type folder options. Click View tab. Untick Hide extensions for known file types. Click Ok. After this, Windows will display the extension in file names. - You’re done creating the file. Open fakebsod.bat to test your BSOD.
- To exit fake BSOD, you can press Start or take your mouse cursor to the bottom of the screen and resize the fake BSOD. After this, you’ll see the BSOD icon in the taskbar. Right Click it and click Close Window.
Now, it’s the time to make your prank look real. You have to create the fake BSOD file in some other location and then create its shortcut on the desktop. To create the shortcut:
- Right Click fakebsod.bat
- Hover mouse on Send To.
- Click Desktop (Create Shortcut).
After this, change the icon of the file.
- Right Click fakebsod.bat shortcut file. Click Properties.
- Click Change Icon. Click Ok when the alert message pops up.
- Choose the icon of your interest. Let’s say, choose My Computer/This PC icon.
- Rename the file as My Computer or This PC according to the version of your Windows.
- Delete the original My Computer from the desktop, and you’re done.
Next time your friends will open My Computer, and the Blue Screen of Death will be there to haunt them.
