0MG! N0w 1 c4n b3 1337 h4xorz. thnks dude!! This is not a hack. Look up the origin of the word "Hacker". When people still used Typewriters, a hacker was someone that constantly hacked at the keys of the typewriter. This is not a hack, nor a virus, or a Trojan, or a Worm. This more of a shortcut to shutdown.exe.

How do i configure my pc in such a way that it will always shutdown when i turn it on and only me should know that i have to run a "shutdown -a". so that even when am forced to turn on my pc, it will keep shutting down until i run the abort shutdown..pls advice!!!!

Put your shortcut in Start Menu\Programs\Startup and give it a longer time delay - say, "shutdown -s -f -t 20" - just long enough for you to open Run and put in "shutdown -a". Just remove all quotes from the above!

How do I activate this Wirelessly?

I bought a wireless Transceiver Package and Was wondering I can interface this with the db-9 port so that when I connect some form of a circuit within the port, it opens this shortcut.

I'm new to programming and am mostly focusing on micro controllers.

Any keywords to research or advice would be perfect,
Thanks

Thank you so much for this! I now have a revenge tool against my brother AND a defense for my personal stuff (I put a folder that said "personal files" that shuts down the computer instantly). Is there a way to switch around icons on different programs? That'd be extremely helpful
Jun 7, 2008. 7:05 AMspriteremix002 says:
yeah you can change the icon just right click on it and then go to properties then go through the tabs and find change icon, and pick your icon, and I have one question, it did not work for me. what exztally did you type in on the shortcut thing, cause I don't know what to do at the end, please help

this hack is very pathetic and obvious and there are many better more fun things you can do to get revenge on some one for instance: installing vnc (remote administration software that your school may use to watch and control your computer at school) on your victims computer then steal control of there computer and pretend to delete there files etc for more info on how to set up vnc or other fun revenge things please email me at : passed07@hotmail.com

Mine doesn't work and I don't know why. Whenever I do it, the command prompt pr what looks to be that pops up for a brief second and then nothing happens.

just 'shutdown -s -f -t' will do, no need for the root directory stuff
Nov 25, 2007. 3:44 PM112251919112 says:
ive seen this alot, and you can put, win shutdown -s -t # -c "text"
