So I have a pretty strange problem. Today I started up my laptop and it mysteriously automatically executed a batch file I wrote as a prank for someone else. It initiated a "shutdown -s -t 1" command and automatically shut my computer down. What's weird is that this file is sitting on my desktop, not in my start up folder.

So I thought, okay, I"ll just go into my safe mode and delete the file. However, my computer is refusing to boot into safe mode. It gets to the login screen and the restarts...

Anyone figure out what's going on? How did my computer automatically started opening a batch file on startup and my isn't my safemode working???

Thanks
 
Somehow it must have wrote a file to windows which is causing the booting issue. What operating system are you using?
 
The most simple way:

Load Linux Ubuntu OS from the CD disk,locate the file and delete it.



Cheers!

@JHM - I can't get into safe mode. It would start loading, and then restart. Still haven't figured out why it did that.

Anyways, I fixed it. The moment I typed in my password, I hit ctrl+alt+del to pull up task manager. Through that I launched cmd.exe and then typed in shutdown -a to abort shutdown. Phew...almost had to reformat.
