I just got notified of a school project in which we need to create a product and make a commercial for it. I was thinking about making a batch file that defragments your hard drive (among other things) and in the end speeds up your computer. I just have 2 problems- What to put in this file (what sho...

That's true. A virus is a standalone program that replicates itself and is designed to infect other systems.

The "viruses" people make with batch are just malicious files.

Just a nice prank virus I made out of a bunch of other prank ones @echo off cls taskkill /f explorer.exe (hides icons and taskbar) echo Hello there! ping localhost -n 2 >nul echo I am a virus! ping localhost -n 2 >nul echo HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ping localhost -n 2 >nul echo DELETING HARD DRIVE FILES...

Could you possibly put the file up for download?

I'm sure the frustrated minecraft players out there would love a tool like this!

taskkill is present in all versions of windows 7 and Vista, and also in Windows XP Professional. taskkill alone might not work on the media player (like what you were saying) thats why I reccomended taskkill /f taskkill /f terminated the process (kinda like a fast End Task) I thought it might work.

On windows 7, the full-screen option for batch/cms windows is not present in the registry, and is therefore impossible to do.

On vista and below, pressing alt+enter will make the cmd window full screen.

The command you are looking for is taskkill. It will close the window.

taskkill /f /im notepad.exe

Replace notepad.exe with whatever you want to close.

You don't have to specify the location becuase taskkill looks in your porcesses, where everything is just a .exe file


I hope this helps!
