A few simple ones:

1.) This may require some research depending on OS. When someone steps away, make sure the shortcut is enabled for it. But enabling high contrast mode.

2.) Take a screenshot of their desktop, remove everything on their desktop. Set their wallpaper to the screenshot you took. They will be so confused as to why they can not click anything on their desktop.

"2)" This one was popular in my previous (security team) office every time someone left their screen unlocked..

Another insidious prank was to put clear tape over someone's optical mouse sensor.. just enough to make it unreliable...
