Answer» Do you guys know any good comands or batch file CODES to do with DOS for fun? Nothing serious but something to do around freinds when everything else gets boring.No, there are none. But why don't you open a DOS prompt and type format c:/u and see what happens.Don't do that.shutdown -s pause shutdown -a pause msg * wasnt that scary exit send that to a freind first thing it will do is a 30 second timer will coe up after 30 secs ur comp will shutdown but if u click the dos promt behind the shutdown thing and type and press enter then it will all GO away and a lil box will come up and say wasnt that scary u should be able to tell what it does jjst by llooking its fun to mess around with but my favorite thing to do with this is write it lik this @echo off :START msg * Your computer has been infected with a deadly viruse shutdown -s pause shutdown -a pause msg * wasnt that scary? ! exit i think its more funnyer this WAY by the way this is harmlessQuote @echo off :START msg * Your computer has been infected with a deadly viruse shutdown -s pause shutdown -a pause msg * wasnt that scary? ! exit Don't do that either. Not to be CRITICAL, but the pause will never execute and the system will actually shutdown. shutdown-s is a shutdown code that gives you a 30 second warning its like a countdown so before the 30 secs are up you can click on the dos promt that will be right behind it, it wil say press any key to continue, so you press a key then it will go to shutdown -a which is abort the shutdown then it will go to the msg * it will not shutdown your comp automaticly it will if you let the 30 sec timer run out but if you type on the dos promt it will go away DUH lolI stand by my last post, however I suggest you test out your theory, cut and paste your code into an editor, save it as a batch file and run it in a single DOS box. Let us know how you make out. Are you running a MS-DOS machine? or does it have Windows 9x installed?i have done this script lots of times adn itdoes what i say b/c shutdown -s is a 30 second timer well i just posted what it does a couple post up, if u dont belive me then well do u know how to take screen shots of your computer and then ILL load them up or you could run the script and it will do exactly what i say it does but one thing when i try and run this at school it says shutdown -s or shutdown -a or msg * are not reconizable commands so i dont know if it will run on your comp but it runs on xps my sis new laptop i ran it on to give her a scare and it workedi have done this script lots of times adn itdoes what i say b/c shutdown -s is a 30 second timer well i just posted what it does a couple post up, if u dont belive me then well do u know how to take screen shots of your computer and then ill load them up or you could run the script and it will do exactly what i say it does but one thing when i try and run this at school it says shutdown -s or shutdown -a or msg * are not reconizable commands so i dont know if it will run on your comp but it runs on xps my sis new laptop i ran it on to give her a scare and it workedhow do you send messages to other computers through dos?

But why don't you open a DOS prompt and type format c:/u and see what happens.Don't do that.shutdown -s
pause
shutdown -a
pause
msg * wasnt that scary
exit

send that to a freind first thing it will do is a 30 second timer will coe up after 30 secs ur comp will shutdown but if u click the dos promt behind the shutdown thing and type and press enter then it will all GO away and a lil box will come up and say wasnt that scary

u should be able to tell what it does jjst by llooking its fun to mess around with but my favorite thing to do with this is write it lik this

@echo off
:START
msg * Your computer has been infected with a deadly viruse
shutdown -s
pause
shutdown -a
pause
msg * wasnt that scary? !
exit

i think its more funnyer this WAY by the way this is harmlessQuote

@echo off
:START
msg * Your computer has been infected with a deadly viruse
shutdown -s
pause
shutdown -a
pause
msg * wasnt that scary? !
exit

Don't do that either. Not to be CRITICAL, but the pause will never execute and the system will actually shutdown.

shutdown-s is a shutdown code that gives you a 30 second warning its like a countdown so before the 30 secs are up you can click on the dos promt that will be right behind it, it wil say press any key to continue, so you press a key then it will go to shutdown -a which is abort the shutdown then it will go to the msg *
it will not shutdown your comp automaticly it will if you let the 30 sec timer run out but if you type on the dos promt it will go away
