Can anyone give me suggestions?
that will slow things down and they might not notice it.There is a way to asign priority to programs, you could make whatever they use most the lowest priorty and whatever they use least the highest. that would be invisible and easy to reset afterwords

Some people are like Slinkys... Not really good for anything, But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
It's not something people hear about.

Just have their pc do a AV and a scan disk at the same timethat will slow things down and they might not notice it.

Too obvious. It needs to be invisible on the taskbar and process list.
I was also about to suggest writing a Java program with an infinite loop, that created and filled an integer array with random numbers. Now, that alone isn't going to slow a system down too much... Unless you keep making bigger and bigger arrays and filling them with more random numbers.

This is both highly inaccurate (In that the AV software will be FULLY VISIBLE in the Taskbar, Task Manger application list, and Task Manager Processes list) and completely useless for my purposes.

Yes it will be visable but will they really notice it? its in plain sight after all. It was just a suggestion.

So, what we would do to prank this one co-worker, was get the 4 of us in our department to all ping-flood the one annoying co-worker at the same time, with large packets. It would actually cause his PC to quasi-freeze, with even mouse moves taking 2 to 3 seconds, and the target being unable to figure out what is happening. Didn't take much really, barely touched the bandwidth of the 10Mbps LAN for everyone else.
Of course, these days, if it was a well run LAN, people often look for such anomalous traffic, checking for signs of a worm/virus controlled PC, and the like.
And, also, hopefully Microsoft has optimized their TCP/IP stack from those days, but you never know.

Dave said this about your mom:
You could allways take a screenshot of his desktop while hiding the mouse pointer, moving all his shortcuts to a folder and hide the taskbar then set the screenshot as his desktop picture.
Oh, that's been done so often around here, that everyone knows to check for that instantly =/
The last good prank I did, was to install an invisible 'dirty mouse' program that'd stop the mouse from moving every set amount of time. Had a few coworkers sitting there digging at their optical mice with pens trying in vain to clean it out 
I need a similar proggy, only one that taxes the system so badly it slows down to a CRAWL. But I can't find one =/

dude... thats awesome..
So the next month, I added 4 shortcuts to his desktop, and did the same thing, but left his icons and such active. EXCEPT the 4 other icons I had added. They were fake, and just part of the desktop image. So he could not delete them, or activate them.
