What still amazes me is how MS-DOS is still under the hood. I had to clean up FuJacks virus on an XP machine the other day. FuJacks leave a hidden / system file in every directory on the machine -- the easiest way to clean it up was to open a Command Prompt window and run:

C:\> del filename_.ini /ash /f /s
C:\> d:
D:\> (hit the up arrow twice and hit enter}
D:\> f:
F:\> (repeat for each drive)

Ok, I'll admit it, ...I needed a refresher on what /switches I needed to use with the DEL command... it's been a while.. (for those who don't know or are rusty like me -- you can get HELP for any DOS command by typing the command followed by /?, e.g.-

C:\> del /?
