Capabilities

• Dimmer: (IN PROGRESS) Dims the user's screen slowly
• GetDown: Minimizes all windows
• IconShuffle: Shuffles all the Desktop Icon positions
• RandomCAPS: Turns on CAPS Lock
• VolumeDown: Turns down the System Volume slowly
• Peeve: (IN PROGRESS) A utility that combines all of the above and randomly schedules them

Building

All of these projects build in MSVC without any issues.

Note: IconShuffle must be built for x64 targets, unless the victim computer is 32-bit. This is because the process has to hook into the Desktop process that is running in whatever byte-size the host computer is.

Note: GetDown must be built for x86 and x64 targets respectively. It will only work on Windows that match the byte-size.
