Drive your friend crazy by this simple PC trick

This article of  mine is not for all you tech freaks. Because you all are already aware of this trick. This article is an ice breaking simple and old trick for those people who are not much aware of computer tricks, but aware about my blog.  :-) (Kidding).

Press Ctrl+Alt+Left Arrow on your key board. Something happened? Your desktop screen must flip horizontally and all your mouse should move in completely unintentional direction. But it is also possibility that nothing might happen. {Because this also depends on configuration of your PC } . If its works on your computer, your desktop screen should look like screenshot below



Although, if nothing happens, you can try this. Go to your desktop screen, right click then go to Graphic Options ->Hot Keys ->Enable . If you see "Enable" option already checked there and nothing is happening on pressing Ctrl+Alt+[Any arrow key on keyboard out of four arrow keys]. Then your pc probably does not support this feature of flipping your desktop vertically [Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow or Up Arrow] or Horizontally [Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow or Up Arrow] . Desktop can be restored to previous state by pressing the opposite arrow key with Ctrl+Alt sign.

It is quite possible that your friend might already know this trick of flipping desktop but its very rare that he knows enabling or disabling this feature by right clicking on desktop and then going to Graphic Options ->Hot Keys ->Enable/Disable to enable or disable this desktop flipping technique.

So what you can do to drive your friend crazy is,  press Ctrl+Alt+Left arrow while he is away and then go to Graphic Options ->Hot Keys ->Disable and disable this feature. So when he will be back he will not be able to restore his desktop without your help if he does not know about enabling or disabling this feature. :-)

Keep me posted on comment section if something interesting happens on your end.  :-p
