echo %random%%random%%random%%random%%random%
goto matrix

2. Caps Lock Prank

This command makes your Caps Lock key automatically toggle repeatedly.

Code:

Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
do
wshShell.SendKeys "{CAPSLOCK}"
WScript.Sleep 100
loop

Save As: caps.vbs

3. Open Notepad Forever

This script opens unlimited Notepad windows until you force stop.

Code:

@echo off
:top
start notepad
goto top

You can show a custom error message in a popup box.

Code:

x=msgbox("Your PC has been hacked!",0+16,"Error")

5. Shutdown Timer

This command sets a timer to shut down your PC automatically.

Code:

Sapi.Speak message

Save As: speak.vbs

7. Make a Personal Diary

For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count-1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
