Question for a REALLY REALLY good VB Scripter

I need the script for a program that will:

1. As soon as you run it it pops up saying Invalid Error Your computer will now restart, or somthing like that
2. it loads itself into the START up menu so it startes up every time you boot up, rebooting the computer.

Im playing a trick on my roomate in collage and i need a script to do it with

SilentRage

A VBScript cannot reboot the computer without an ActiveX component that is loaded and whose method is then called to restart the computer. That is the only way it is capable of sending emails or most other powerful things which lamers just love to do to tick the responsible and mature off.

btw, I hate you.

not that I support this action, but does exactly what was asked.

SilentRage

No. wcwnet does not deserve the points. He did not answer the question. He presented a completely different annoying trick that had nothing to do with VBScript. I stated the only way it can be done via VBScript - using an ActiveX object. Either accept mine as the answer or nobody's at all and refund the points. Please. And thank you. (to soften my harsh approach. ;-))

SilentRage

...and it did not reboot the computer either. Forgot to mention that other reason wcwnet's response did not answer the question.

GPrentice00

Agreed - a misread on my part ("startes" I read as "states" instead of "starts"), I thought it was to post that it was rebooting though it wasn't. Also, I skipped over the title "VBScript" and just saw Script in the question, and a batch file is a script as well..

I have no problem with delete no refund now.
