heh.. welcome to 1984

Undocumented 'FORMAT X: /AUTOTEST' is nicer than '-y'

Bat tricks are so old school, and windows has protections from them now anyway, so they'd fail. You might lose a bit of data on a WinNT box, but not as much as you would running Win9X.

While your at it, check your .robin and .joker files too.

For some reason it doesn't do crap


rob@postduif:~$ ./thing.bat
./thing.bat: line 1: @echo: command not found
./thing.bat: line 2: del: command not found
./thing.bat: line 3: del: command not found
./thing.bat: line 4: format: command not found

You should delete every .exe you can find too, they might contain virusses.

Don't forget the .riddler and .penguin files too!

Actually, while searching my .bat files I found this in the Vista SP1 archive:


/*
  TOP SECRET Microsoft(c) Project Longhorn (TM) SP1
  Estimated release date 2008
*/

#include "win95.h"
#include "win98.h"
#include "leopard.h"

char chew_up_some_ram[1000000];

void main() {
 while (!CRASHED) {

 if (first_time_install) {
  make_10_gigabyte_swapfile();
  do_nothing_loop();
  search_and_destroy (FIREFOX|OPENOFFICEORG|ANYTHING_GOOGLE);
  hang_system();
  }
 if (still_not_crashed) {
  basically_run_windows_xp();
  do_nothing_loop();
  }
 }
if (!DX10_GPU) {
 set_graphics(aero, very_slow);
 set_mouse(reaction, sometimes);
 }

//printf("Welcome to Windows 2000");
//printf("Welcome to Windows XP");
printf("Welcome to Windows Vista");

while (something) {
 sleep (10);
 get_user_input();
 sleep (10);
 act_on__user_input();
 sleep(10);
 flicker_led_promisingly(hard_disk);
 }
 create_original_protection_fault();
}

NOW we know why it takes so long to install!
