Agreed that those jokes are stupid and sometimes harmful, but doesn't Windows block you from doing that?

Sorry.

Nop. I tested it out on my old computer with Win7 on it. You can successfully delete your System32 folder as easily as any other folder.

Huh. Odd. Somehow I bet my brother would kill me if I deleted System32 off of his computer.

EDIT: Why does a 64 bit OS have System32?

Isn't system32 a hidden folder?

[Wynd_Fox]

No, it's in C:\Windows.

He should be jailed because your friend was stupid/ignorant enough to listen?
Damn, everyone should be in jail then.

People should search before actually doing such things.
It would give you the answer you needed, plus he would have found out that it's a bad joke.

thats like saying you cut off your legs because someone told you that they'd grow back

People shouldn't have to search to find out if advice is legitimate.
