hi i have recently learned some amusing batch files that i have created in notepad that when sent to friends are very funny and i was wondering if there are any more that people might know?
so far i can open command prompt 100 times or there abouts very amusing if you dont have windows XP!! if you know anymore can you please post them
 
Code: 
shutdown -t 20 -s -c "You have been screwed..."
that shuts down the system, use -r aswell to restart.
change 20 to preferred seconds before shutdown starts.
to abort the shutdown procedure use
Code: 
shutdown -a

To make it worse, put this into their startup folder in "All users". They the must go into safe mode and delete the batch file. Use with responsibility.
 
That's nice, I forgot about that one. If you want to really screw someone do this-
Code: 
Not exactly 'practical'...
I think that is right, may not be. If it is it will format your hard drive.

EDIT: here is the right one-
Code: 
Not exactly 'practical'...

Wow very fast to remove that. I said it was if you really want to screw someone but I understand. But one thing, is there a way to have cmd open a certain webpage, not just the browser? If so that could be fun.
 
Most programs written with consistency use their first argument on the command line as the file to open. So in internet explorer (probably work for FF aswell) simply in cmd:
Code: 
iexplore.exe http://www.msn.com
So you can simply write a long batch file doing lots of things. Linux is much more secure however, can't do much damage without root :D.
 
those are some nice things. i am emailing them to friends right now.
ps is there a way to put an autorun on the system shutdown one?
 
if you go into notepad (start-> all programs-> accessories->notepad)and type in these codes save them as "what ever you want".bat and when opened will do what the codes says.

another one ive found that you can do isnt a batch file but gives the same affect if write (msgbox "what ever you want") and paste in a columb down the left hand side loads of times. when you save it save it as (open_me.vbs) and when you open it a message box will appear sayin "what ever you want" depending on how many times you copyed and pasted it will determin how many times you have to click ok til the message box dissappears.
