And Screen Text Wight And Pop-up And Screen Backround Blue. Then Apply
And Check It Out. Note: This Dosent Work On Vista

Same here. It starts a command prompt window, but it closes almost instantly and does nothing.

I'm sure i copied the text correctly.

Although this did inspire me to make an abort shutdown shortcut; very usefull when people try to remote-shutdown me. : )

just go to google and type in images of "Halo" or some thing
Jan 23, 2010. 6:02 PMrkr says:
Yeah... this doesn't work... it just shows a command prompt window and closes instantly.

And wtf is that thing at the end about 'downloading viruses'?
May 12, 2009. 8:43 AMBogdanV says:
To make it real full-screen (ALT+ENTER), you could instead of going to Layout, go to Options->Display Options and check Full Screen. This should make it cover the entire screen without the window border appearing.

the window will appear on vista but its translucent so only a trained eye will catch it

How do I get it to say "Downloading viruses" and have it show all the files under the other stuff?
Nov 24, 2009. 9:17 PMmr.break_it says:
insert an "echo" command like this [echo downloading viruses] whereever you want that text to appear. on the next line, type [ cd /d c:\ ] without the brackets. next line is tree, which lists every folder in the c drive.  the code should look like this:
echo Downloading Viruses...
cd /d c:\
tree

press "F8". The button for safe mode.

I'm not sure these even count as script kiddies- script kiddies at least do something other than use user-mode features and often cause some sort of damage to systems by "hacking" them. This is the computer equivalent of putting plastic wrap over the toilet seat, and I think there needs to be a word for this phenomenon, other than "irritating pranks". Beyond that, perhaps there needs to be a section of the site where all the "fake virus omg lololol" 'tibles can be put, along with the knex guns :) or an end user script that hides anything with the words "fake virus", "computer pranks" etc. in them.
Jun 7, 2008. 2:32 PMcwid says:
yeah they need to make a place for all the repeated crap on here, like k'nex guns and laptop stands

Sadly it seems that lately Instructables has seen a lot of this sort of crap appearing. Is there anyone that can explain to me how this could be useful or educational. Because this is just 12 y/o 3V1L H4x0rzzz internet pollution...
