On XP you use PROMPT to set a new prompt, on old systems use $p$g to set a new prompt. Used to do this in the autoexec.bat files of my teachers in high school and they would freak out.

$p$g Your hard disk is being formatted. Please wait...

haha

I never tried that one out...

I used to use Net Send with the message "To Format your C:\ drive click OK" (There's only one button on a Net Send dialog )

HAHAHAHAHA

ROFL

:laugh:

I used to write batch files that would net send about 100 messages to someones computer.
We worked nights at it got boring, what can I say. It was funny to do though, I'd double click the batch file then here this "Damnit man!"

you people are sad, and no you're not sad because you know these things.

You're sad because you'd rather come into a thread and make fun of others that you don't even know and assuming that you're all knowledgable about 'DOS' and 'Shell' programs without expanding upon what it is you do know or explain yourself. You'd just rather take this oppertunity to make yourself look soooooo good rather then as a oppertunity to allow others to learn off of what you know. Some of you simply think oh this is my time to shine and just blast my mouth to gain credability on a popular forum online.

It is sad what Anandtech has become.

And what's even more sad is that you feel the need to come and reprimand people you don't know.

for the most part there are a lot of you that i wouldn't care to know just because of the type of people you play yourselves out to be online.

I stated my opinion and I don't care whether you like it or not.

We all value your opinions. If you have any more, feel free to share them with us.

I remember the first IBM PC that my Dad got. It had no hard drive and took only 5 1/4" floppies. If you turned on the computer without any floppies it took you to Basic.

At the bottom of the Basic window were a bunch of labels for the function keys. I was pissed when I pressed the function key labelled TRON because I thought it would let me play the video game Tron. But it didn't. Stupid bastages. :|

It is called piping to a file :roll: this is really old, and this is AnandTech. Most people will know this.
