Well if you just want to do a school prank, then I suggest a program that I found browsing the web. Description is as follows.

Just load it into the school network and let the fun begin. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Bah, why not just write a quick infinite-loop program and lock everyone's computers up (or, to make it look like it's doing something more constructive, make a 5 dimensional array with 1000 for each parameter, visual basic is quick and easy, just throw a few for...next loops in the form_load section with your array variables.
...I'm also a fan of the Mac OS fullscreen (especially if it can be brought up without the windows screen showing...somehow).

If you don't have something nice to say, don't say something at all. I'm sure you've heard that little gem in various langauges over your "long years" being alive.
%WINDOWS%\system.ini, change shell=explorer.exe to shell=notepad.exe
On an NT-based system (assuming registry security) use a DOS bootdisk with NTFS drivers and load a registry file (via regedit /i) to set: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\shell to notepad.exe
It is pretty trivial to fix, but still amusing. The computer is usable by anyone with a few clues, though you still don't want to get caught.
