How to stop:
Boot in safe mode.
Remove your horrid little program.
Boot in normal mode.
Shake butt in the author's FACE!
Say, "LICK IT AND LIKE IT!"
Sleep. :)

You could just boot up from a portable linux disk and delete your little program
adamthiede in reply to RedFlashMar 3, 2010. 5:20 PM
yeah you could... but chances are that nobody knows what's going on...

if they bother to check and find out what's happening they could. You have to know the problem before you can fix it.

OR do it on a netbook! No cd drives there!
RedFlash in reply to adamthiedeMar 31, 2010. 11:28 PM
Don't forget USB Linux!
adamthiede in reply to RedFlashApr 1, 2010. 10:34 PM
Yeah, good point. My friend booted his netbook from a USB flash drive. And I can boot my mac from a firewire hdd.

You don't need a CD drive for the boot disc some boot discs like mine are just microchips. (I have one because i tested my script on my netbook and so i had to make a boot drive in a microchip.  Also on a microchip it works faster.)

This is fake it does not shut it down permanently he just wrote it to say that all it does is shuts down 00 seconds after it's opened with it in the start up all you have to do is log onto another profile use command prompt make it administrator and delete it.  If you really want to shut down a computer forever you write a batch file that deletes the reboot script from the hard drive.  Like most of the people are saying on their comments yes you can reboot it from a portable Linux boot disk but you would have to use it every time you wanted to get on your computer.(This program will shut your computer down though.) No hate to the maker of this tutorial.

Do what my sister did: delete the I386 folder on the Windows drive. Windows will then have to be reinstalled before it can work. Or, alternatively, take some small but crucial part out of the computer: ie. a 2mm piece of wire from the battery terminal.

You know I make me LOL when I read half of this stuff:

"It shuts it down for ever!" LOL

If you want to make a virus that I wont LOL at then make one in C NOT BATCH that deletes a .DLL that windows needs to run.

Or better, just get Linux then none of this stuff happens.

ALSO

It can easily get fixed!

all you haft to do is open the Computer in safe mode. As the Computer is first ternd on press F8 over and over a gen you should get a screen with a bunch of options and click on safe mode. then the Computer will open jest delete the program and your Computers is fix.

You can still save the computer... Just get a bootable Linux disc and delete the prank from there.

hee hee go to your pcyou should be there right now find a file named

"highmem.sys"

when and if you find it delete it hee hee(god dont do this...)

If you didn't put the file in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder (for XP), then you can log on as a different user and delete it by right clicking the start menu, explore, and navigate to the file. 99% of the time (in Windows) there is an administrator account that doesn't have a password. log on with that if you can't with any other account.

what does the " cd /" bit do?
ultrauber in reply to JskateJan 7, 2009. 7:16 AM
changes to the root directory
cornboy3 says: Jun 3, 2008. 6:00 AM
I don't even get why someone would want to do this anyways, plus all you have to do is format the os off with something else.
Ex Marine in reply to cornboy3Jan 5, 2009. 12:36 AM
well maybe you were throwing the computer out and you didnt want people getting hold of your info
aliceownsj00 says: Jun 3, 2008. 12:29 PM

bug on fire in reply to QwertyuioLPOct 23, 2008. 1:22 AM
yeah that's what i was thinking
dsman195276 in reply to QwertyuioLPAug 11, 2008. 4:07 AM
start your computer in safe mode, and then turn off the batch file.
ultrauber in reply to dsman195276Jan 7, 2009. 7:16 AM
I was thinking run shutdown -a before it turns off.
michaelb958 in reply to ultrauberJan 9, 2011. 1:13 PM
Um, if the time delay is 00 then it happens instantly: there is no time to abort.
aliceownsj00 in reply to dsman195276Jun 3, 2008. 2:21 PM
I like your icon, it's cute
dsman195276 in reply to aliceownsj00Jun 3, 2008. 3:10 PM
thanks.

You would be able to get to safe mode using the [F8] key during initial startup. The best way is to just start tapping the key during the RAM check and keep tapping until you get the startup menu with Safe Mode as an option. You could boot with a LiveCD also and just remove the bat file from the C:\windows\startup folder. Lots of options, most are outside the average users knowledge.
cheeseefungu says: Jun 4, 2008. 8:38 PM
Just go through safe mode. Tried it, works fine, but man..YOU ARE EVIL
benthekahn says: Jun 3, 2008. 4:59 PM
I think I may have a solution. What if you started your computer into disk mode and connected it to another computer and deleted the file through the second computer?
onlyonebowman says: Jun 3, 2008. 10:41 AM
never would of thought of that
H4T says: Jun 2, 2008. 10:41 PM
No, this will not work in safe mode. Safe Mode disables all extraneous start-up programs, so you can get rid of it there. Granted this is beyond most casual computer users so this is still pretty evil :P
TheWelfareWarrior says: Jun 2, 2008. 9:49 PM
That is horrible/awesome can you boot into safe mode and turn it off? or do you have to open "run" and type shutdown -a?
the guardians (author) in reply to TheWelfareWarriorJun 2, 2008. 10:28 PM
Im not sure about safe mode but shutdown -a won't work because the timing for the shutdown to execute was 00 seconds and theres no time to type shutdown -a in cmd.
Neryam says: Jun 2, 2008. 10:06 PM
Wow. That's really mean. Would that still run in safe mode?
the guardians (author) in reply to NeryamJun 2, 2008. 10:26 PM
Not sure, You could try it. and If you can't log in to that account because of the shutdown file at startup then login to a different account and delete the account you can't log into.
