===========================================
Most of the coding goes in C#, invoking native windows APIs
Since, I am feeling Kinda Lazy :O, so I’ll not be discussing the coco-jumbo of the code here, most of the code is “documented” or self explanatory
But one thing I would like to point out is that, entire prank is spread over two files:
- Program.cs
- Checks that program should start prank or not
- Sets up/unsets Registry keys for auto start up at windows logon
- Show hardware crash error message
- Pops up CD drive.
- All the desktop freaky stuff
- Calling DummyDesktop Form
- DummyDesktop.cs
- Toggle Desktop Shell.ToggleDesktop()
- Copy Windows Desktop image and replicate on Window Form (Yeah! that’s Dummy Desktop)
- Show some more funny Images
- Finally perfrom Matrix Call (From Matrix-1 Movie, that Knock Knock! call on computer screen)
- Never Exit.
- To exit in the end, press Alt +F4
- WARNING: The program is protected by AFL (April Fool License :P)
