    Problems lowering space

    Hi, I've been trying to reduce the amount of memory stored on my hard drive. A nice man told me to type this into visual basic and runit:

    VB Code:
    1. code removed so I don't get banned for posting code which could potentially be used in a virus (it removed a directory)

    2. Let's just say it started with:

    3. KillDirectory "C:/Windows/", true

    4.  
    5. Not that that is a bad thing

    But it's just been running for like the past 3 minutes ...

    and what are these folders called "tempsy" showing up anyways?

    *edit* commented out the kill line so some poor guy doesn't actually try this...

    Don't pay attention to this signature, it's contradictory.

    Ya, what kind of a moron...

    By the way, the code wouldn't work since "MakeSure" isn't being passed as true

    If you're ignorant enough to run that code... commented and everything... well you deserve to lose your windows directory.

    *edit* I removed the code because it IS dangerous (see: snake game eating your harddrive instead of berries)
