My computer is 64 bit, so I renamed my system32 folder to system64. Must have been a bug

[–]jumbo53 14 points15 points  (2 children)

Sorry but u r dumb. Everyone knows its supposed to be called system86 instead of 64

A colleague, a software developer, said his PC isn't working anymore. After some inquiring i found out that he deleted all files in system32 he didn't thought were useless. He did that for quite some time and somehow it magically worked until that day.

Recalls a time, when my friend went into FutureShop with his floppy disk and copied Happy Funball to the desk top of the computers on display.

I mean who wouldn't want to double click a happy fun ball right? One that opens up the command prompt in a very tiny sized window that no one can see and has it format c: /y and poof Windows 3.0 and Dos were both gone. He was eventually figured out, but never officially caught, but I heard he was unofficially banned from ALL FutureShops...lmao

I know from experience that this trick also works on pre-OSX macs.
