I have one question, you know about modifiers (%~dp0) yet you don't know how to use the FOR /L command? (unless someone told you about that modifier specifically and you don't know about them, which is fine).

In your last "fake virus", why not use the FOR /L command?

very interesting the user only has to close the batch window to stop it but here's my version: @echo off cls title Error :top echo FATAL ERROR: echo Your operating system is not supported echo Version: ver pause GOTO top The pause is so the user can see their Windows version before it loops again.

Why do you put them all in the same lines? It makes it very irritating to decipher.
