Hello everyone,
I'm Hacker Girl, and I've created this blog to teach everyone a bunch of tricks, hacks, and pranks. 
Yes, very simple so far, but the process of learning this all can't be the same.  It can be even easier.
If I kept this post to a small but about why I'm creating this blog, it wouldn't be very interesting, would it?
I'll get you all interested with a hilarious prank.  If you have a friend or a family member that is not too computer savvy, this is definitely the prank for you.  This prank shuts down your computer, but a message pops up saying that a virus has infected your computer.  I tried it on my brother.
Do you all know what Minecraft is? Well, my brother uses it, and I used this prank on him twice while he was running his Minecraft server.  Yes, he was quite angry with me once he figured out that I was the culprit, but it was still completely hilarious.
Okay, so let's get started.  There are two different methods to this prank, and no software is required.  I hate installing software, and I'm sure you do too, so I'm keeping this blog software-free.
Anyways, I'll show you the first way.

1. Fake Shortcut
a. Right-click anywhere on your desktop and go to 'New'.
b. Select 'New Shortcut'.
c. When it asks where the location of the shortcut should go to, type this code into the bar :
shutdown -s -t 30 -c "WARNING: VIRUS DETECTED. HARD DRIVE NOW BEING ERASED"
d. You can replace '30' with however many seconds you want there to be before your computer shuts down.  You can replace the 'Warning' message with whatever message that you want to be displayed as the shortcut is clicked.
e. When it asks what the name of the shortcut should be, type in Internet Explorer, or something that the user would click on.
f. Finish creating the shortcut.
g. Right-click on the shortcut and go to the very bottom of the drop-down menu where it says 'Properties'.  Click on it.
h. Click on 'Change Icon' in the menu that comes up.
i. Scroll through the list of icons and choose one that fits the name of the shortcut.
j. Apply the settings and admire your new fake shortcut.

Okay, that wasn't too hard, was it? If you have any questions, just comment on this post or E-mail me at hackergirl858@gmail.com.
Here's the second method:

2. Command Prompt Shutdown
a. Go to the Start button and type 'CMD' in the search bar.  Click on the one with the icon of a little black screen.
b. Type in this little code : shutdown -s -t 120 -c "WARNING: VIRUS DETECTED"
c. Once again, change 120 to the number of seconds before you want the computer to shut down.  Also, change the 'Warning' message to anything you want to display before the computer shuts down.
d. Press enter and watch the magic happen.
e. If you want to shut down another computer with your computer, it has to be on your network.  Soo, here's how to do that.
f. Repeat step 'a' and then type in this code : shutdown -s -m \\desktop -t 45 -c "WARNING:VIRUS DETECTED".
g. Once again, change 45 to the nuber of seconds you want and change the message to whatever you want it to be.  But, where it says \\desktop, change desktop to the name of the computer - within your network - that you want to shut down.
h. Then press enter and hear the scrreams and curses of the person whom that computer belongs to.

Okay, that wasn't hard either, was it? Hope you enjoyed it.  Once again, questions/comments can either be commented on this post or E-mailed to me at hackergirl858@gmail.com.

Hope you enjoyed this first post, I'll be back next week on Thursday.  Look for a post every Thursday :)
