U write a batch file through notepad and when u save it and open it the file opens in command prompt and runs the script (a set rules i gave the program which the computer understands). I'll be gone almost all tomorrow so the earliest I can get to you after I post this (it's 3:00 AM where I am) as about 10:00 PM tomorrow. Lastly, if you need help with anything, just PM, comment, ask a question or do something to let me know. Once again, most attempts at these fail and if you want, I'd like to know how you plan on achieving this. Thirdly, I don't condone 'network crashing' but whatever suits you and you can do is allowed to be shared (well, everything's allowed to be shared, but should it?). I'd like to know your plan on how you are going to try and do this. As far as I'm aware, all attempts at achieving this were ill-thought out and just didn't work (they did work, but you can just open the folder or do something else that renders the script useless). If you're going to make another one, why not post it on this instructable as an add on? Two, I'm guessing that the 'Lockdown File Locking software' is going to allow you to stop access to a directory? (Go on to the next paragraph if it isn't).

One, haven't you already done a timer (I mean I am posting this on it right now). Please refrain from using the term 'hacking' or any words derived off it.
