How do I make an infinite loop of opening notepads?

**redhatmasta** · April 2nd, 2004, 08:49 PM

I tried just doing
system ("notepad")
system ("notepad")
system ("notepad")
system ("notepad")
system ("notepad")
system ("notepad")
(like about 10000)
but that only opened 2 notepads.

So what would it look like?

thanks a lot.

Maybe He/She has a lot of notes to write.

That is the most evil thing I have ever read.

Yah, it is pretty chilling. Makes you stop and think about
the state of the world.

Code:

start notepad.exe
start NotepadHax.bat

Simple bat file. This also loads a shitload of command prompts onto the screen too

I just looked at his nick... One of those Lunix guys with a grudge against Microsoft?

Code:

/* Nothing better to do... so let's start notepad until we die */
for ( ; ; )
    system("notepad");

     Sleep(300); // Let's wait a little bit
     system("notepad.exe");
}

I'm testing now, how much notepad's my winXP can stand ... that's funny

Code:

rem.. NoteGo.bat....
echo off
:zippy
start notepad.exe
goto zippy

copy that into notego.bat or notego.cmd. But that file on the path of your machine and then from any command promp just say... [ notego.bat ]

A better one if you want to mess with somebody is to do a net send...

NET SEND {name | * | /DOMAIN[:name] | /USERS} message

Code:

rem  datemaker...
echo off
:slappy
net send %1 %2....
goto slappy...

copy that to datemaker.cmd.. and run it like this...

datemaker.bat Beth "I control the world"

where beth is a username....

Now becareful because if you run this from yourown machine there is a good chance you'll get fired for harasment...

puts up a messege box on the persons machine which they can't close.....

Never Never do this....

Datemaker.bat * "take this job and shove it!"

at least not from your own machine...

If it wasn't a dare, then I dare you...

Actually all of the above implementations will generate a finite number of notepads.

With manual intervention, additional copies may be generated, but the number of simultanious copies will still be finite.

We all have our good ideas, but lets try to answer the posters ORIGINAL question, rather than going off on tangents.....

It's tempting, but I should really wait until later when I'm not using my work's computer. Hmmm, lack of response from NoHero since he started his experiment has me a bit worried.

It's a bit silly to shoot for infinite Notepads--that requirement is never attainable as TheCPUWizard so eloquently stated.

Perhaps a program that opens Notepad at random intervals. Place it in the startup group of your friends computer.
