fun(?) with BLUE SCREEN

What is the most DREADED pre-enabled feature of any windows installations?

yes you are right the great "BSOD"

If you are one of few lucky users who havent had it for a long time then here is a way to "CREATE" BSOD if you are really missing it.

1. Launch the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\Parameters.
3. Go to Edit, select New | DWORD Value and name the new value CrashOnCtrlScroll.
4. Double-click the CrashOnCtrlScroll DWORD Value, type 1 in the Value Data textbox, and click OK.
5. Close the Registry Editor and restart Windows XP.
(do it when your friend is not looking)

When you want to cause a BSOD, press and hold down the right [Ctrl] key of your keyboard, and then tap the [ScrollLock] key twice. Now you should see the BSOD.

problem:

your(or your friends) system may reboot(shit) instead of displaying the BSOD,
and you'll lose all the fun.

solution:
disable the Automatically Restart setting in the System Properties dialog box.

how to:
1. Press [Windows]-Break.
2. Select the Advanced tab.
3. Click the Settings button in the Startup And Recovery panel.
4. Clear the Automatically Restart check box in the System Failure panel.
5. Click OK twice.

Now that fun is over(with your friend looking sick) disable the BSOD feature:

1. Launch the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\Parameters.
3. Select the CrashOnCtrlScroll value, pull down the Edit menu, and select the Delete command.
4. Close the Registry Editor and restart Windows XP.
