Crash!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's an interesting function that will crash windows:D. No crunching, no hourglass, no message. Just immediately completely freezes. If you try it (i did :p), make sure u save all your work first!!!! I take no responsibility!
VB Code:
Public Declare Function GetParent Lib "user32" (ByVal hWnd As Long) As Long
Public Declare Function SetParent Lib "user32" (ByVal hWndChild As Long, _
    ByVal hWndNewParent As Long) As Long
 
Public Sub crashMe(hWnd As Long)
    Call SetParent(GetParent(hWnd), hWnd)
End Sub

I bet that code is in the Win98 Explorer.EXE at least 10 times. :D

Nah, it's too quick and efficient. When Windows crashes, it takes much longer.

So it's only in the WinNT Explorer.exe (if NT has an explorer.exe file) 5 times? That's why it seems more stable, but really, it just takes somthing different to crash it. :)
