TIP-- Once yuo've created your new icon, you need to rename it. Right click on it, click rename and remove the ".vbs shortcut" part

[JustPhil]

Now I want to know how to add icons to that .dll icon file

[JustPhil]

I love this!!! Instead of copying X amount of times, you can change each line so long as each line starts with the lol = msgbox ("
Like first line "Critical error......
Second line is something like "What part of ERROR did you not understand?
And so on and on and on
Every time the OK button is clicked ( or even the "X" close button) a different sentence comes up

how u change the icon on vista?

[Guard13007]

Almost the exact same way, just play around a bit, you'll find it.
(I'm using XP right now and can't be bothered to remember, sorry...)

hi, how do i add so it shuts down the pc.. or run a .bat file? thnx! great tutirial!

[joshtr1001]

 if you want to make something that shuts down a p.c you need to make a shortcut. a box will pop up. type in it: shutdown -s -tp 60 -c (the error message)
save it then right click and change its icon to internet explorer. name it internet explorer. then when the victim tries to run it they get an error + a shutdown. 
to stop it goto run and type shutdown -a.

I HAVE XP AND I CANT CHANGE THE ICON

[joshtr1001]

Lol I did the same, but I wanted to really freak 'em out. Message box said "Terminal software error 163G38EU4. Formatting hard drive in 2 minutes. Press Ctrl+Alt+Down to cancel." The only way to close the window is to use Task Manager XD

[swetank]

[viruscreator23]

shutdown -l -f -t 60 -c "type a message you want to appear here"

You can enclose code like this in a webpage, type
'<script language=vbscript>msgbox"YOUR MESSAGE GOES HERE" ,16, "TITLE" </script>
