CD Drive Prank

This is my entry into the April Fool's day contest, how to make a visual basic script to annoy people. When run, it opens all the CD drives and then, if they are closed, opens them again. It also only runs on April fools day, so can be set up well in advance! In addition, as it isn't a program, it doesn't show up in applications, so isn't easy to close. The only was to close it is in processes, but they are probably clever enough to know not to muck around blindly closing processes!

Please leave a message of criticism or support, and preferably a rating, so i know if i should bother again! I'd love to hear stories of mayhem as well!

Step 1: Open notepad

Go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, Notepad.

Hahaha, this one's evil! 5 stars! :P I'm going to modify the code to test it, and set it to open/close for 5 mins, wait half an hour, and repeat, and deploy it with batch.  I will make the batch do something I want to show my 'victim' and start this thing 30 mins later, make the batch invisible in BAT to EXE. }:-) Thanks for the 'ible!  Too bad I came late. . .

Thanks, i saw loads of instructables with whole pages of comments and ratings, so i made 3, and have about 20 comments and 3 ratings total! I did notice how easy it was to change as i made it.

OMG, that's hilarious!
It might be because I'm using a laptop, but sometimes it won't open again after I close it. It might be because I'm doing it too fast, though, because if I wait first, it always works. Have you had this problem?

Hi, sorry, I can't say I can remember it happening, but it may just need a short wait as you say. Please remember to leave a rating, and thanks for actually leaving a comment!
