That actually can be harmfull for the computer. All it does is open cmd.exe several times and then run it self again. It will do this until the system runs out of memory and crashes. What will work a lot faster is you do do "start hack.bat" several times, that will start several instances which will open more instances, which will open more instances. DO NOT DO THIS!! It is a terrible idea, and is not good for your computer. Also most email services will not allow you to send a .bat file and will remove it or rename. If you really want to play a prank just do something like: "taskkill /im explorer.exe /f" which will end the explorer process so things like the start menu will go away. to get them back you need to ctrl-alt-delete and run... "exlporer.exe" or restart. IF YOU TRY ANYTHING YOU ARE DOING SO AT YOUR OWN RISK, I WILL NOT BE LILABLE FOR ANY OF MY MISTAKES OR YOURS.

i made a simple exe file that did this...
i've used autoit3 to make tons of computer pranks, can be really funny watching them try to figure out what goes wrong...

and, i forgot to say, my version is nicer, after about five minutes all the instances should be closed... they die down like readio-active material...

Yes, natural orange is right. It can be harmful for your computer. And a better way to do that file would be to say: @ECHO OFF :hack START hack.bat START cmd.exe GOTO hack If you had coded it like that, then the hack.bat file will run in a continuous loop, opening the hack.bat file, and then opening the command prompt. Obviously, this will get big really fast, since it will run that program almost instantly, and every time it runs, another hack.bat will open, running the same loop. Much faster than just typing start a few times. This type of program is actually called a "fork bomb" for obvious reasons. WHAT YOU DO WITH THIS INFORMATION IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DESTRUCTION CAUSED BY IDIOTS WITH A COMPUTER. Remember, "with great power, comes great responsibility"
