Bah.. VB is for wusses.

Make a batch file:
Code:

This is the same guy that wanted to know how to make a timer to screw over the next admin in his high school, Which obviously resulted in a locked thread.

the seniors before us did it to us.
we format the hard drives so they have to start from scratch and i wanted a creative way to do it.
i mean i can do it without VB. but i want a count down timer that will excute it. its not liking im going to infect the internet. im not a ***** if i did it would be a non destructive virii just to prove i could do it. but i will never cause i have no reason to screw many people over

That`s not what you said in your other thread.

Nodsu: Please take a look at this thread.

http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic63407.html

I am therefore closing this thread as well.

Should you be stupid enough to ask this question again, don`t be surprised if further action is taken.
