So this is what it looks like when I Windows people read our shell commands.
I was thinking the same thing. I feel kind of bad now.
Also: this is what it would look like if Linus wrote a CPM kernel instead.

Why is it all uppercase? It looks so wrong, eventhoughI don'tknowwhat the runes mean.
(I know windows supposedly doesn't care, it should matter for command options though)
That syntax hurts my eyes
It’s been years for me but the F/ looks totally wrong. administrators:f seems wrong too but not impossible.
it is wrong, I butchered it
Another reason to use Linux is to spare yourself the Windows CMD prompt syntax
Oh wow, a security disaster. You know, you can temporarily escalate your privileges if you need to modify Program Files, right? It's just one UAC prompt away.
oh god not the UAC 🤮 so I use a lot of software that needs to be able to handle files too and some that gets temperamental with things that mess with full screen. I get what UAC is for but for my daily use it's basically a rake for me to step on
UAC is the only thing between you and a certain security desaster.
If you can't remember times before UAC, call yourself happy.
F/ ?
shit, I meant /F.
Thankyou
What does this even do ?
takes ownership of the C disk in windows and gives administrators full priveledges for program files. by default they belong to "trustedinstaller" which bars you from using a lot of your own computer, even if you make an admin account.
I feel like that would break a lot of stuff
"Trusted installer" has such "Trust me bro" energy and I hate it. I don't trust you one goddamned bit gimmie those files!
I’d guess it allows administrators to read write all files in c
But I’m it positive
at this point just login as system or trustedinstaller lol
for elevated stuff i usually use 7zip as admin or system(nircmd)
You can log in as trustedinstaller???
do you mean like accessing your files in the 7zip interface? I hadn't thought of using that for anything besides zipping. that's clever
PS C:/Users/you> .\psexec.exe /s /i cmd.exe
idk if its system or trustedinstaller that i literally logged into and launched a "user session", its been a while since i played around windows. but yeah it kinda works although it breaks explorer heavily (lol)
just use a normal admin user and use nircmd to run 7zip totalcmd etc as SYSTEM
Pairs nicely with rd /s /q "C:\"
the perfect space saver
Something something delete system32
I find it more funny that people including yourself don’t know if it’s correct or not.
It’s about 6 clicks in the gui.
It's about 6 clicks in the GUI 💀
I've used that method too. switched to using cmd because the GUI has crashed before while making changes to large amounts of data. with more recent versions of windows the more unstable it seems to get.
I recently changed the acls on 20tb of documents. On 2cpu and 8gb mem serving a few hundred users.
