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

[spetnik]

Here's an interesting function that will crash windows. No crunching, no hourglass, no message. Just immediately completely freezes. If you try it (i did ), make sure u save all your work first!!!! I take no responsibility!

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.

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

And a lot more painful and blue (i.e., BSOD)

[spetnik]

[spetnik]

[Aragorn]

Well, anyway, that would be an explanation...

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.
