HI,(im new)
I was experimenting with my new Windows 7 CMD and i found out that when i type in the command "shutdown -i" the response is "system error 5" and "access is denied". I tried to restart my sisters laptop (as a prank) on our home network but the error message comes up. My account is admin and all files are shared...

Help pls i want to prank her for her B-day pls pls

That is a lousy prank and we will not help you with it. Whether you think it funny or not, your improper syntax makes it clear you don't have a thorough understanding of your actions and I assure you, if it caused any of her school papers, photos or other important data to be lost or corrupted, your sister, and your mommy and daddy won't think it funny either.

If you want to prank her, buy her a funny birthday card.
