I don't appreciate you posting things like:
"DONT TRY TTN'S MALICIOUS CODE".

By all means, everyone can try my/gigemboy's code, with the command you want, in the window.
Duh.
Look, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, but what you posted was not only wrong, but malicious, and you know it. And I'm just trying to do what is right and warn people, like myself that are trying to learn. You didn't comment that line of the code. If you didn't intend for it to be malicious then why not do a "dir c:" instead? I've never heard or ever had to use a date command in dos and just figured it would return something interesting like the number of days until that date or something. Don't get defensive, just do what is right for others and admit the mistake and accept the punishment (which is someone else warning others not to use a bit of code).

No need to take it all personal or anything, and if you want to think that I'm an ignorant idiot, that doesn't know crap about dos commands or vb that is fine with me. It sounds like you have an awesome wealth of knowledge in this area and I'm sure you are way better then me. but.. the fact is:

you posted dangerous code, which did screw up someones system, and others should be warned to not make the same mistake when trying it out.
