Sick Of Windows XP? Delete It!

Are you are sick of Windows XP because it just can’t do anything right? Two commands will solve your problems…well, more like annihilate them.

The video above is of someone opening a command prompt and typing:

CD C:\
DEL /f /S /q

This will obviously go  through the files on your computer and start deleting them with the exception of some system ones. The author of the video made sure to mention that “visual glitches and artifacts don’t occur because windows stays in the physical ram’s cache until reboot.” That means you could essentially delete Windows on someone’s computer and they wouldn’t know it until they restarted the machine.

I recommend that you don’t try this on your main machine if you want to see if it “really works.” :)

    Also I love to open the command prompt and type

    deltree *.*

    which if I got that right should delete everything on your computer, leaving you with a blank slate!

    I haven’t tried that one…now I need to find an unsuspecting enemy, I mean test machine, to try it out on. :)

    Well you can try installing a virtual machine and letting us know the results?? :idea:

    I don’t think any of the virtual machine software is compatible with Vista. :(

    Even better:

    del c:\ /f /s /q

    just tested it, works like a charm!
