Hey, I'm fairly new to programming, and to this site, so bear with me please. I'm not quite sure if the help I need is C++, but if it isn't, kindly direct me to the proper forum so that I could get assistance there. Here's my issue: I'm working in notepad, saving my files as a .BAT. I have no intent of doing real damage to anyones computer, just as a small practical joke on friends. I'm trying to devise a "virus" that will cause a delayed shut down on your computer while causing a ton of websites to appear, while causing repeated pop ups with a short message that you have to click okay to make it disappear. So far my code is: shutdown -s -t 120 -c "Now wasn't that just a fun experience? Don't worry, no real harms been done to your computer. Just turn it back on and delete it. Have a nice day!" "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" www.google.com " "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" www.google.com "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" www.google.com "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" www.google.com "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" www.google.com -c Wasnt this fun! -c Wasnt this fun! -c Wasnt this fun! -c Wasnt this fun! -c Wasnt this fun! -c Wasnt this fun! -c Wasnt this fun! -c Wasnt this fun! -c Wasnt this fun! -c Wasnt this fun! -c Wasnt this fun! -c Wasnt this fun! -c Wasnt this fun! -------------------------------------------- If anyone is going to test the code, to cancel the shut off, open up run and type in shutdown -a. If you already knew that, great. But I just thought I'd let you know. It works for the first part of creating the delayed shut down sequence. But when it gets to opening the internet it opens it up one at a time and won't open up the second window until the first one is closed. I'd like for them all to open up at the same time. And the 3rd part isn't working entirely. I cant get anything to open up when I run the code. Anyone help would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks very much Regards, Justin
