I think this whole thread is ridiculous, BUT, for the record, you can also redefine the keys (via ANSI.SYS, etc) to enter the confirmation for a command, ala redefining it to "del *.*^My^M", or even more simply, "echo y|del *.*^M" ... there is no limit to the number of things that can be done; however the point is still that if you don't have something specifically running that can redefine keys (ANSI.SYS), you can't execute anything just by reading it, or having it on your drive. - John
