I do believe I know what I am talking about and I don't think we will ever agree on this so I'm not going to continue this discussion.

I guess this is alright, seeing as how the Beta doesn't start until the 15th.

Creating a Fake and Harmless Computer "Virus"

Note: This is really just a shutdown code. It in no way has any potential to steal information or content from any PC. It's an easy trick.

1. Create a new shortcut.
..a: In the target box you can input any command you want the computer to run. Like a shutdown.

2. To create a shutdown command, type "shutdown t s #Time".
....Ex: "shutdown t s 30" (this is set to shut down after 30 seconds).

3. After this, you may wish to add a little message in addition to your "virus" that tricks your friends. After you type the time for the shutdown, add "-c "TEXT"". Always type your message with quotation marks, or this will not work.

4. You probably want to give your little trick a specific name, something that'll seem innocent. Like "Internet Explorer." Just rename it.

5. Now you're going to need to change the icon, so it looks presentable. Right click > Properties > Change Icon > (Choose one to match your name) and click "Ok" or "Apply", whichever shows up.

After you are finished, it should look a little something like this:

Name: Internet Explorer
Icon: (Internet Explorer)
Directory (or path target): shutdown s t 30 -c "Thought this was the internet, didn't you?"

There you go. It's an easy trick, I think most people already know this. Again, this is completely harmless, but only slightly if you set it to run at start up.

Just go to your "Run" tool, and type in "shutdown -a." This will abort the shutdown.

Can you sign up and get a beta code if you live in the States?


Yeap, address, country and stuff like that is not required.

Posted by: old bad dog


That's a pretty good prank.
Like that one where you screen cap a desktop then delete all the icons and use it as the wallpaper xD

It's been added and has started the 2nd portion of the "Community Lifehacks" section.

Keep em coming guys

I really don't understand why I have a signature.

How long should it take for my Gears 3 beta code to be E-mailed to me?

Edit: Nevermind.
