Disclaimer= I am not responsible for whatever you do with this file, and if you do this in Vista, then you will have a hard time deleting it. I'm only posting this for educational purposes, and if you screw your vista up, its not my fault. It is deletable in XP. Just not Vista.


Another Quite-Useless Tutorial from Blaze-Engaged!


Ok, lets get down to business. We need this checklist:

• Windows XP
• A Desktop
• A Numpad
• A Mouse

Remember:NEVER try this on vista.

You can either Expand the tutorial, or alternately, watch the video.

1. Go to our desktop. This is where we're going to create it.
