DOS Restarter

Desktop App

Project Summary

The DOS Restarter is a simple desktop application designed purely for fun and shock value.

Once launched, the app tricks the user with a scary warning and initiates a system restart.

Upon reboot, the prank app runs again automatically (via startup settings), causing the computer to restart endlessly after short intervals, until the user cleans up the startup settings.

The application mimics a real threat with intense visual warnings, but it does not cause any real damage to the system. And can be deactivated with a password in hidden field.

It is mainly intended as a harmless prank for friends or internal jokes, emphasizing a fake sense of urgency.
