How about, dir/s to freak them out. It runs through the entire list of every file and folder on the entire hard drive lol!! Or, to piss them off, use dir/s/p. That makes it so they have to hit enter to go to the next page while viewing the entire hard drive. It makes it so they have to hit the Enter key about 1000 times depending on the number of files they have!

DELTREE - Deletes one or more files and/or directories.
Rather vague... Deleats all associated files and folders in the command!
deltree C:\crapolla <<< all folders and files in "crapolla" will then be deleted.

Just my :2cents:.
Good article actually :)

One great DOS options is Pipes. Almost every command that outputs text to the screen can be "piped" somewhere else.

For instance, like the above mentioned DIR /S command, you can pipe it into a text document for review.

The syntax for piping is: "Command" > "File"

So, an example of piping every filename and directory on that partition would be:
DIR /ah /as /aa /s > C:\DIRLIST.TXT

Pipes are great for custom batchfiles, or where you need to review the entire contents of a mapped network drive. Just remember, almost any command that outputs text to the screen can be piped.

Those are not the only DOS commands, you should also tell them to be careful as the results of misusing them could be fatal for the operating system. Ya and mistformshadow why not trying the DOS command: FU-CKMYPC.exe?

You shouldn't go in DOS to remove viruses. You should just run regedit.exe and not get in the dir/s and all the rest of the directories. If you know what strings are infected, then you can use regedit.exe, get Mcafee 2006 :)
