Jeez. Add it to the "Startup" folder in the program files and it shuts the computer down every time you boot it up. Even better, huh.

i use ms-dos to do this prank
1. right click>new>text document
2. past this in the document:
shutdown -s -t 60 -c "Error encountered."
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 30 -w 1000
shutdown -a
start iexplore

3. save as whatever.bat (the document can be named anything you want you just need it to be a .bat file)
4. make the shortcut and save.

NOTE: IT TAKES 1MIN. FOR IT TO GO AWAY AND LOAD INTERNET EXPLORER.

oh wait... was the pinging set to a limit so it would time out just before the 60 seconds? I changed it to 10 seconds because I dont have much time lol

I guess it's a good instructable, but it probably won't work in schools, because the IT guys disable it.

You can also edit the commands to display a message to the user. and its better to allow the user some time before shutdown incase of work loss.

Just go to start, run, type cmd, and then type shutdown.
You can see all the commands available.

Then just insert the commands into the launch area.

*lol@ the error* You had two IE icons on the desktop.
Silly.
