Evil Computer Pranks *Updated*

Evil Computer Pranks *Updated*
 Hi and welcome to one of my longest computer projects, it took me a while to figure out how to do this the fastest and painfully way possible. It is the Random Access Memory Waster. 
Programmed to: Make incredible amounts of folders at once, thus using lots of RAM and filling up a lot of space. It is still in BETA so please test and give comments. It works for me though and you cannot run this on Vista or 7 or mackintosh unless you can run batch on it!

DISCLAIMER: I am legally not responsible for any damage to pain done whatsoever by this object.


*UPDATED* Changed to new computer pranks, I have a new awesome computer prank which will actually fill up the space in the computer and do itself over and over again. It will copy itself to autorun and run every startup. At the end of the file there is a infinite message annoying the user causing the user to reboot and it happens all over again. Next update- attach a game to it.
I got angry and I caught the MSN myspace virus i need help and I got bored so I made this.


Pros:
14000 folders in 8 seconds
invisible (to the non-nerdy person)
A pain ( to stop it and to delete the folders)
A lot of folders ( up to around 1000000000000 different folders and names and then it does this: 10000000000000+1, 100000000000+2 and so on.)
Cons:
Can't stop it ( unless you turn off your PC or find a way please.)
Only for pranks (if you trick people to doing this you are in a big boo boo!
Now the instructions!

i love this idea. brilliant. did you make it yourself? is it self-running?
oh and if you make it make loads of .ZIP files, would that take up more space?

5* and fav

.ZIP files are actually compression files of a group of items. so no it would take up less

 this actually doesn't use that much ram, it mostly uses hd-space, which can be deadly, as with too little free hd space your pc wont boot, or very very slowly... please for the love of god, do not pull this prank, it's not funny
Jan 24, 2010. 5:24 AMlieuwe says:
 a hd doesn't actually have to be *full* to cause damage, the partition table might get fragmented, which results in a slow hd until defragmented, and windows might not boot with a too full hd
Jan 25, 2010. 2:45 AMlieuwe says:
 did that old pc have two partitions? or maybe even two disks? anyhow, even if it's not harmful it's not funny, the only thing you cause with this is annoyance with the guy that comes down to 'fix' your computer...
Jan 22, 2010. 8:24 PMNeo1 says:
 But you can do this simply with a batch file
Jan 23, 2010. 11:32 AMNeo1 says:
 well you are right, but you could still compile to an exe even though that would be almost the same

How do you break a button? You mean the key came off, or the connection broke?

 lol im terrible with comps ill end up paying him 1110 $ if i try this LOL

deleting batch files stops them.
Sep 27, 2010. 2:15 AMeoscondor says:
you can if you run it from an SD/flash drive!
Jan 5, 2011. 12:37 PMxXxXlife-is-beautifulXxXx says:
no actually you cant. if its running from a flash drive its just like its running of the hard drive. when you plug a SD/flash drive into a computer there basically just other drives connected to the computer that can be removed. the only differences between a flash drive and a hard drive are that a flash drive can be removed without taking your computer apart, a flash drive has less memory (depending on if you compare it to modern computers) and it has a usb port. needless to say if a program is running it does not matter what directory its running from it CANNOT be deleted.
Sep 26, 2010. 10:43 AMeoscondor says:
press control+c or d (i can't remember witch one) will stop any batch script in its tracks! C-:
Jan 28, 2012. 7:29 PMaccount3r2 says:
It's Ctrl+C to stop any command.
I use that command a lot when I am making files or testing ones...
I make a lot of programs :|
