Ok, my teacher is finally teaching us Visual Basic programming for our class. Now, its a LAN class where everyone on it is administrator (don't ask me why he does this). Anyway I have access to startup folders.. and their registry... could even put it on their scheduled tasks... but i dont know what to make

previous joke:

made a form with opacity 0% (meens its invisible) and made it top most (it pops up on top of everyone else) eliminated it from the taskbar (doesn't show at the bottom of your screen) and I made the border go away so it was like a glass wall in a software kinda way.. you couldnt close it.. unless you used the task manager and you couldnt click anything else because it was topmost... OH and it changed their mouse cursor to a wait cursor so they thought the computer froze.. was funny for about 20 minutes until they figured it out ( i named it "death.exe" was pretty obvious ) anyways does anyone have any ideas of what i could make? and if its harder then basic coding could you include a guide.. that would be great, thanks! :D

the previous joke: i can do that in vb6..

[Dyroxide]

your point?

it doesn't take effort to make that type of joke all you do is change form properties.. so if you came here to build yourself up, you might as well not post. I didn't ask a question to get what things you can accomplish.. just some answers on ideas for amusing myself for a little bit

Umm the glass wall thing is kinda basic i could do that in qbasic within my first week of learning programming (a long time ago haha qbasic)

if you want to do something awesome disconnect the keyboard from working and also add something that will shutdown the mouse and/or on screen keyboard.

Um to do this there is in windows there is a driver option in cmd

i think it is dricont /s -a you can use a simple console app to do this or sometimes a .cmd or .bar

in a console
(depending on your compilers or lang)
console.wrt.shel.ow("dricont /s -a") /-- this unlocks control or usb options--/
console.wrt.shel.ow("dricont /k -r") /-- turns keyboard off till restart --/
console.wrt.shel.ow("dricont /m -r) /-- turns mouse off till restart --/
console.wrt.shel.ow("dricont /n /e -r /--turns eth0 off till restart --/
console.wrt.shel.ow("cd.. C:\windows\system32")
console.wrt.shel.ow("dir /h -s -a")
console.wrt.shel.ow("type logtis.htx -t -a re=0 timecon=0")
console.wrt.shel.ow("cd.. c:\")
console.wrt.shel.ow("regdit/sys -o)
console.wrt.shel.ow("regdit/sys -r -s)

regdit is not regedit it is reg dit (dit means something i don't know what it is 3 words)

that should be it i was using "shellcompilecode" which is a cross between vb2008 and C++ umm google it you should find it somewhere i can also try and redo it for a different script. e-mail me at bigstrappa @ hotmail.com (without spaces) and make the subject NEED HELP WITH PROGRAMMING so i'll no it isn't junk mail.

BigS, you have cleared so much up with that one post alone.... SOMEONE DID THAT TO ME lol... not only is that brilliant, that explains why my keyboard and mouse were both stopping in the middle of class for no apparent reason..

yes I am currently using visual basic 2008, so that will be the language of choice here

do you know how i could do this type of thing remotely? such as

on the LAN type the computer name or have a drop down list where i can do it randomly at my leisure.. after the suffering this prank has done to me i would like some revenge.. help me exact revenge BigS lol XD

if i can only do it through startup thats fine, but this will be a breakthrough in my class, i think the thing stopping my mouse and keyboard is a virus.

no one in my class has the dedication that me or my bud have with programming so i dont know that they could come up with that on their own

[bigstrappa]

well i am tight on time right at the moment, but give me a day or so and i'll see that i can do for you... i know vb2008 so it shouldn't be to hard (just some scripts arn't always easy to change over)
