To do this, right click with your right mouse button on any blank area of the desktop. This will open up a menu. From the menu, go to “New” > “Shortcut”.

]]> 25810 2 33 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/2429/33.jpg Type the item location The Shortcut Wizard will first have you type in the location of the shortcut. For this, you will want to type: win shutdown -s -f -t 60 -c “April Fools”. The 60 represents the countdown time in seconds before the computer shuts down. You can set this to whatever you want. April Fools is the message it displays. This can also be changed to anything.

]]> 25811 3 50 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/2429/50.jpg Type in a name for the shortcut The next step is to create a name for the shortcut. In this instance, I named it “Card Game” because I am going to make it look like it’s a shortcut to a new game.

]]> 25812 4 55 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/2429/55.jpg Select an icon After clicking next, you will see a bunch of icons to choose from. Choose one that fits the misleading shortcut you are creating. I chose the one that looks like a hand holding playing cards. After you have picked out your icon, click finish.

]]> 25813 5 60 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/2429/60.jpg The fake virus is ready Now just wait for someone to click on the shortcut you have created. When they do, it will begin shutting down their computer. This can really annoy some people, so please use accordingly (with someone who knows how to take a joke).

]]> 25814 6 69 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/2429/69.jpg Make it more convincing If you want, you can make it even more convincing. Right click on the icon and go to properties. Then click on Program and go to “Change Icon”. This will let you browse to any popular application on your computer so you can use it’s icon. Then just change the name to match that common shortcut. For instance, I changed mine to a Firefox shortcut.
