Well, given Henry would run into error with file deletion given that his computer is running off of System32 files, this posting is “technically” a fail…but did produce an Amish type virus smile on my face. Just tell him to delete the whole C: drive to save space…
The computer is running off System32 files that have been loaded into RAM. There shouldn’t be a problem deleting them. The problem comes when Windows tries to load a file that is no longer there, or when he reboots the computer, and there’s no files on the hard drive to load into RAM.
(I’m just assuming here. I haven’t actually tried it myself.)
You don’t have to at all. If you know about technology and computers, you would know that since windows vista, it’s impossible to erase system32, and I think they patched it for XP, and if you are so stupid to erase it, it only denies some processes of the computer, not all of the operative system, those processes can be recovered just by reinstalling them, but not the whole operative system
it is not impossible nothing with computers is impossible they follow what you tell it to do. so if you cant delete them then you are to stupid to work out how. take control via permissions including heuristics and archives would certainly allow you to delete any file not in use. Nerd fight ftw!
Not that bad if you have just part of it uninstalled… I guess. I’m not expert but I know my computer is missing a part and still works fine, has worked for at least a few months but every time I turn it on an error-message comes up telling me that it can’t find row-32.exe or something in the Windows. And something also says that it can’t start up.
I’ve just ignored them though, and my tactic seems to be working.
If you didn’t understand this joke you should press Alt + F4 on your keyboard, it should come up with a prompt that’ll explain a bit more about System 32.
The system critical files in the system32 folder cannot be deleted when Windows is running, anyway. So go ahead and try to delete it – nothing will happen.
This post is a fail, in THAT way! Those geeks are not nerds; they don’t know shit about shit.
And yet, I had no trouble deleting them from my system, and indeed saw a major improvement in performance by replacing them with files that had names like vmlinuz and /lib/ld-linux.so.2.
I admit I’m heavily biased, and many will disagree with me, but I think his friends were right–the most effective way to improve performance on a Windows-based system is to get rid of Windows!

Another fail on this one is that defragging doesn’t make your computer perform faster, it just frees up space on your hard disc. It might slightly reduce your seek time, but most people don’t concern themselves with that, especially not the tool who had the problem.
When I was working tech support I had to listen to this. It was so great for helping me through those tough calls with people who didn’t know about computers… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LLTsSnGWMI

haha!
indians never fail to amuse me.
Lotsa /b/tards there I’d say.
DUDE!!! RULES #1 and #2!! The hell, man!?
Rules 1 and 2 only apply to raids.
RAIDS?!
I think he means AIDS.
No. He definitely means raids. Besides which, moot himself has said the rules do not exist. They were invented as a joke by some /b/tards.
hoho!
HeHe!
Idiots never fail to amuse me either. Good job.
good game…noob.
The Game. Noob.
level 1 noob!
Well I’m a level 2 noob!
I 1-shot you cause my power level is OVER 9000!!!!1!lone!eleven!
You all lost the game.
no, you made me lose the game.
i doubt any of them will notice your comment.
I double lost the game all the way. It’s so instense
The only way to win is to NEVER PLAY. I WIN: BWAHAhaha*evil laugh*
One of the rules is that everyone is playing. BWAHAHAHAHA to you
Damn I just lost The Game
I lost it too
But happy face, because now I have a little time to make others lose the game as well. *Evil laughter*

It wouldn’t work, because Windows would just dismiss your delete request and say that the files are in use.
Better suggestion would have been to delete all the dll files
its true, if you try, the computer is basically like “what are you, stupid?”
Hilarious!
This is just evil LOL
if someone doesnt know that, he/she deserves it XD
Because everyone needs to get a certificate before being allowed to use social media…
He should totally defriend them once he gets another computer.
you know you can just reinstall windows, right?
He is probably that stupid he’ll think he needs another computer.
If someone doesn’t know deleting Win32 files messes up your computer, I doubt their first response will be to reinstall their OS.

Operative system? Is that like… a policy they have in the hospital?
Well I think you should. Save tech support all the face palms
Brilliant!
Oh gosh. What does deleting system 32 do? I assume it causes a mini nuclear fusion of some sort.
it does
Nah… it divides by zero.
No, it creates global warming.
No, it SOLVES global warming!

The solution to the worlds technical problems, ignore it. If that doesn’t work, hit it.
and then if that doesn’t work turn it off then on again. or, hit it harder.
Na, I tend to ignore it, hit it, then throw it into the wall and buy a new one…
Are you sure? I thought you were just supposed to turn it off… wait for a count of 5 one thousand, and then turn it back on. What do you see now?
Sounds like you’ve got a virus. Might want to do something about that.
Shush. If I don’t know about it, it won’t do any harm to me. We’ve been living a peaceful life together for so long now that he’s practically family.
Just be sure not to feed it after midnight.
welcom back, henry
If you didn’t understand this joke you should press Alt + F4 on your keyboard, it should come up with a prompt that’ll explain a bit more about System 32.
Everybody knows about Alt+F4.
“alt + w” sends you to tech support who will explain everything to you in detail.
It’s Ctrl + W that tells you about system32
I don’t understand.. Alt + F4 opens up system preferences on my computer
layer-eight problem

You, my friend, are made of win. +9001 internets to you.
i’d take windows 7 all in over any linux system ive used (ubuntu red-hat and suse) none of the previous os but windows 7 defo!
I’ll take Win 3.1.10 over anything that has been published by Microsoft since then.

Still kinda funny.
Ever think that it might have been a joke? It’s funny. Lighten up.
Actually, the command is — format c:

I have system64
I have a nice troll for those who find the computer of a friend alone and that you could perform a good prank to them:
1)Press ctrl+alt+del
2)go to task manager
3)go to processes
4) delete explorer.exe
Your friends computer now only show background and it can’t do anything else that turning it off.
To solve it just press the windows banner button+r
There should appear a window that says run
type: explorer.exe
fixed
It’s a nice troll if you wanna get someone scared lol

alt+f4 if you want to refresh your web page….
sudo rm -rf /*
Okay, i have no freaking idea what system 32 is. XD (hey, i’m not stupid, i’m just not a computer-person! XD)
This was not funny, just really mean. I hope Henry didn’t really delete it.
its practically impossible to do so, so don’t worry about him.
thats a massive achievement to actually delete your system 32 folder though. windows makes it near impossible. though, i haven’t tested trying to delete it through linux ]:)
