Fake Virus (Prank)

2012-12-09T03:25:00.000-08:00

Hello Friends,

Today, I'll tell you about a prank using which you can scare your friends off!

Follow these instructions :-

1. Open Notepad and type the below code

X=MsgBox("Message Description",0+16,"Title")

This code is basically telling the computer that when the following script is opened, it will display a fake error message box with the title as “Title” and the description as “Message Description”. But those can be changed so if you want to type a different title or description, go ahead

This is a Visual Basic Code, which means you are able to type in Visual Basic Scripts using Notepad! So anyways, the numbers in that code can be changed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Let me explain you the code:

X=MsgBox("Message Description",0+16,"Title")

Here,

A. Message Description: Write some warning message you want to display (In below image the description is “A critical VIRUS has been detected that has deleted all your folders on this computer."

B. 0+16: It is a combination of two different codes:

–you can write any numbers from 0,1,2,3,4 instead of 0 (before the ‘+’ symbol) & here is the meaning of each number:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

0 = Ok Button

1 = Ok/Cancel Button

2 = Abort/Retry/Ignore button

3 = Yes/No/Cancel

4 = Yes/No

----------------------------------------------------------------------

–you can write any numbers from 16,32,48,64 instead of 16 (after the ‘+’ symbol) & here is the meaning of each number:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

16 – Critical Icon

32 – Warning Icon

48 – Warning Message Icon

64 – Information Icon

----------------------------------------------------------------------

C. Title: you can write any title (in below image the title is “COMPUTER ERASED.”)

To create multiple Message Boxes, just duplicate the line so that it could end up to something like this in the message:

X=MsgBox("Message Description",0+16,"Title")

2. Now at the end you are going to go to ‘Save As’ and here’s the important step. The file-type should be set to ‘All types’ and the extension of your filename should be .VBS. For example, “Fake virus.vbs”. Once you save it, open it up and you should get your message box opened up.

Secure Safe! Hide your folders with a Batch file.

2012-12-09T02:59:00.000-08:00

Hello Friends,

Today I'll teach you a very easy way to secure your private folders.With this trick, you can create a secure password protected folder in Windows which no one except you (or the one with the password) can access.

Follow these instructions :-

Hide The Folder :-

1. Open Notepad.

2. Copy and paste the exact code given below:-

cls

@ECHO OFF

title Secure Safe!

if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD

-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK

if NOT EXIST MyFolder goto MDMyFolder

:CONFIRM

echo Are you sure to lock this folder? (Y/N)

set/p "cho=>"

if %cho%==Y goto LOCK

if %cho%==y goto LOCK

if %cho%==n goto END

if %cho%==N goto END

echo Invalid choice.

goto CONFIRM

:LOCK

ren MyFolder "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD

-08002B30309D}"

attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD

-08002B30309D}"

echo Folder locked

goto End

:UNLOCK

echo Enter password to Unlock Your Secure Folder

set/p "pass=>"

if NOT %pass%== mysecretfolder goto FAIL

attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD

-08002B30309D}"

ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD

-08002B30309D}" MyFolder

echo Folder Unlocked successfully

goto End

:FAIL

echo Invalid password

goto end

:MDMyFolder

md MyFolder

echo MyFolder created successfully

goto End

:End

4. Save the file as *.bat or Locker.bat (Name must end with .bat) and select file type as All Files.

5. After creating the file, double click on the Saved file. A new folder will be created. Enter your data in the folder. Again, double click on the batch file. Type Y and press Enter. The folder will be hidden from view.

The default password for revealing the password is "mysecretfolder"

Reveal The Folder :-

1. To re-view your folder, double click on the saved batch file. Enter password as "mysecretfolder " without quotes and press Enter key. This is also the default password. Your folder will be visible again.

Change The Password :-

To change the default password, edit the part of the code where it is written "mysecretfolder " and enter the password you wish to keep.

The overall usability of this trick can be improved by deleting the batch file after hiding your folder and re-creating it when you wish to access your folder again.

If you face any problem using this trick, you can write a comment and I will do my best to help you.

Secret behind the "CON" folder problem.

2012-12-09T02:25:00.000-08:00

Hello Friends,

Many of us have often tried to make folder with name "CON" but have been unsuccessful and an error saying "The specified device name is invalid"

Well, Now I'll tell you all why its not possible.
In MS-DOS, several special "device files" were available to aid in performing certain tasks, such as clearing the screen or deleting extraneous output from a program. In order to maintain backwards-compatibility, all versions of Windows up to and including Windows 7 will refuse to allow you to create a file with these "reserved" device file names.

The following file names are reserved:
CON
PRN
AUX
NUL
COM1
COM2
COM3
COM4
COM5
COM6
COM7
COM8
COM9
LPT1
LPT2
LPT3
LPT4
LPT5
LPT6
LPT7
LPT8
LPT9

But don't worry I'll teach you to make a folder named "CON" but more on that later.
