It is always a good habit to lock your computer before heading off for coffee or a smoke. When someone forgets and leaves a Word document or an email open, type a single word somewhere in the text - "f##k" or so will do nicely. They'll never notice and send it out.
Go into MS Word or similar program on co-worker's computer, and add an entry to the AutoCorrect feature. This is a very simple prank that will send the novice user into a frenzy. Configure the AutoCorrect option to replace the word "the" with the phrase "you suck!". They will usually panick and start scanning for viruses.
Take clear tape and tape the underside of the mouse. Make sure you take the sticky end of the tape and apply it to the bottom of the mouse so it locks the ball in place. The victim will most likely check the connections in the back, reinstall drivers, reboot, etc., before they realize what has happened.
Do a "Print Screen" of the user's desktop, and then paste the image from the clipboard to a photo program, and save the image as a bitmap. Then, set the 'snapshot' of their desktop as the actual desktop wallpaper. (You'll have to hide the Windows status bar, and move all their desktop icons into a folder, which you can hide conspicuously in the corner or something.) The user will see their desktop as always, but everything on it will appear to be frozen when they try to click on it...sending them into a rebooting and virus scanning fit!
Pop out the M and N key on someone's keyboard and reverse the two. Any flat tool will work. Just pry it with little pressure and they will easily come right off. Then just sit back and watch the confusion.

Done that in year 9 to a kid at school, replaced 'the' with 'sexy' and 'and' with 'crotch'.
All the work he handed in was hand written for the next month until we told him..

Whilst at university a mate of mine allowed one of the people in our house (whom we didn't like) to use his PC to complete an important essay. He duly did so and made the mistake of leaving the room to go to the toilet. Within a flash every reference to Piaget (an educational mind doctor) was changed to Pigshit.
He handed it in and got ripped for it; mainly due to the fact that he'd obviously not checked his work before handing it in.
We laughed.

Those could work very well, done in the right circumstances, against the right retards...

Evilly. Everytime I think of the context in which the new word was used it makes me smile.

I could get fired just for touching someone else's machine. They're very funny like that at the Inland Revenue.

Well yes i can see why, in doing most of those 'practical jokes' you are infact breaking two of the three acts within the 'Computer Misuse Act'...
