Hey all! I'm a noob at writing batch files and have written a bunch, but my latest one is an odd one. I'm actually trying to break remote machines (for security reasons) by renaming the bootmgr system file and then shutting the machines down so they can no longer boot up. My batch file will map...

Greetings. I've got a PC with XP just formatted and clean, and happens that most of times I try to shutt it down or reboot, at the last second when it must get off, it appears a BSOD and auto reboots. That started to happen before the format. With Blue Screen Viewer I can see the error and it...
