On normal mode in windows this file was hidden by system. But you can find it as you uncheck the hidden option in folder option menu. ^_^
In windows explorer go to tools > folder options .
- In view menu, check Show Hidden files and folder radio button.
- Uncheck Hide extentions for known file types
- Uncheck Hide protected operating system file . then hit apply.

Now back to topic bout boot.ini file :-) ,besides has funtions to logon into windows, in some case with some modification or adding some simple code script may turn it into joke program. Sometimes i also trying this to my friend's computer in office to trick them..heheheh...just for fun only..not to destroy...this is still some low case only..no need to call "polisi apalagi intelegen".wkwkwk...:-D
Is this virus? i answer it yeah or maybe not..just answer it whatever you like as you try it by your self..^_^ hehe..
-------
First thing you have to do is be sure to back up this boot.ini file before you try this trick, because this original boot.ini file is a simple way to turn back your computer status into normal as before. ^_^
Now lets begin. :-D
- Double click boot.ini file that located in C://
- As open, try to find this script there:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /noguiboot
- Change it into this:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="halo..halo...halo...apa kbr..."
-----------
The final result before you save and close it, the codes are going like this:
[boot loader]
timeout=1000
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="halo..halo...halo...
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="halo..halo...halo...
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="halo..halo...halo...
-----------
Note:
- timeout=1000 (the greater of this value will make your computer take a long time to logon. The standard timeout from windows sets on 30. What will becoming if this value are sets into 100000000?? haha... i also dont know what happens. But maybe it works, maybe fail. coz maybe the windows system set the maximum value for this. But who knows, i also not ever try it..:-p)
Actually with adding some script in there could make it be a dangerous / fatal program that could crashes your windows operation system. But im not to explain it this time. This is for fun only not to wreck anything..hehehe...
Yeahhh....doing well this job. then save it pal...:-D and quickly to restart your pc now.. Then.... see what happens...^_^
Just remember, to place the original boot.ini file to the location it was to turn back your pc into normal again.
