Computer Tricks

NOTE: I DID NOT WRITE THESE, JUST COPY-PASTED FROM A .TXT FILE I HAD, I DON'T REMEMBER WHERE I FOUND THESE.

Matrix

Open a notepad document and copy and paste the following into it.

@echo off
:A
color 0a
cls
echo Wake up, Neo.
pause
echo Follow the white rabbit.
pause
echo Welcome to the Matrix.
pause
echo You are the one.
Save it as Matrix.bat (Or really anything.bat.) and it will be on your desktop. Click and enjoy.

Frozen desktop trick. Good for playing pranks on friends.
Exit out of all windows untill you're at your desktop. Press print screen| System req on your keyboard. Now take all the icons off of your desktop. (Put them in a folder so you can get them back out when the prank is over. You can make this invisible using the invisible folder trick.- See further down.)
Go to paint and hit ctrl and V at the same time. The screenshot should pop up. Save it and change your desktop to it.
Voila.

Invisible folder trick
Awesome for hiding... Secret... folders (Cough cough, porn anyone?) From people who use your computer.
Right click folder and click "Rename". Type in 255 or 0160 on the number pad whole holding alt. (Number lock on.) Hit enter.
The name is now invisible.
Right click and go to properties. Customise, change icon, and find the blank icon. Doubleclick.
Click OK.
Voila.
If you need to find the folder, highlight it with the wide highlight option.

Custom error windows!
You can code it yourself, it's not that hard, but I'll give you a script of mine.
Open a notepad document. Copy and paste this into it: x = Msgbox("Please replace user and retry.",5+48 ,"User Error 3303.")
Save as anything.vbs.
Change the icon or name to something like "Awesome runescape cheat codes" And wait for someone to click it.

Shutdown trick
My favorite school computer trick.
Right click desktop and go to "Create new shortcut". It'll pop up a window saying, "Type the location of this new item.". Type in, "Shutdown -s -t 0". Click next. Type in this window, "Internet Explorer". Change it's icon to the internet explorer icon and you're done with that. Now go to the real internet explorer and delete it or store it as an invisible folder. (See invisible folder method.)
For now, that's all, as my hand hurts.
More later or tomorrow, though. If I can think of more, that is.
Wait, one more thing.

Net send.
Good for a type of download-free chat room with people who are in your work group.
Go to command prompt and type in net view. If there's anyone in your work group type in "Net send (Person's computer's name) Messagemessagemessagemessage".
This should work in computer lab, and should work on teacher computers.

Star wars in ASCII (FULL LENGTH!)
Go to start > Run, and type in telnet. Click OK. Type in the command prompt "O". Just o. Click enter. Type in towel.blinkenlights.nl. Press enter.
Wait for a bit and there you go!
