Default Something To Avoid In Windows CMD

Firstly, do not do this in a folder where you have work or filoes that you need!

Quote:
REN *.* *.plop
Grr.. I didn't tink it would work, but it does
So just to warn you, don't try it!

I stupidly did, and now I have to try and remember what each format was, and convert it back from '.plop'

hmm, you can't format the C drive though, as your using it?
Don't you have to boot from an external device then format it?

I have a few cool little videos on YouTube, showing you how to add 1,000's of users and making random folderes everywhere using CMD. Really simple stuff, but kinda cool
