If you know "dos" I have a quick question

Okay, so I'm putting together a new page for spiritblade.net that features a new line of product called "The Archives". Instead of a product image, I want to have a cool "dos looking" series of codes or whatever that a person would see if they had just been granted access to a server or some high security hard drive or something.

So instead of putting:

Security Disabled.
Access Granted.

I want something you might see in dos that conveys the same idea. Any ideas? Anyone?
I'm planning to have this page done one way or the other in the next 24-48 hours. So even some basic suggestions would be great.

Thanks!

My friend quigonjae would know exactly what you would need... Let me email him...

try this from the command line of your PC and let me know if its kinda what your looking for . Type dir /a /d C: and then hit enter.. PM or respond here if you need a lil more help

That doesn't work my me quigonjae...

(ignore this Paeter it's an inside joke)

Oh Paeter,
Just incase you don't know how to get to a command line.
Go to start and then click Run
In the run box type "cmd" (without the quotes)
Then click the run/okay button (forgot what it is)
Then a black window will open. The black window will remind you of being in the 80's
From there you can follow quigonjae's instructions

(more inside joking)
of course that wont work for you .. your using that overrated , bloated and how shall I say this "elitist" operating system.. For those of us who have "seen the light" we know that we can do basically all the same functionality with a FREE operating system.

Bloated!
It is by NO MEANS BLOATED

when you refer to those who "have seen the light" aren't you referring to those blinded by it?

I stick with the 'different' original... period.

ahh my young padawan...I show you the "way of Linux" and you let yourself become clouded by the darkside that is Mac.. LOL

No... it is you who does not see clearly.
I can feel the conflict within you.
Through the window leads to the darkside...

Thanks guys!

(And it's true, I did not know how to get a command line without instruction.)

I don't think it's quite what I'm looking for, though. It looked a little too mundane with items listed like "Desktop" and "My Documents". I'd like it to look a little more like you're looking into a cool, top secret kinda computer.

Also, I'm not sure that I want any real information about my computer on the website.

Any alternative suggestions?

Paeter:
do you a picture with what your trying to accomplish ? I could just write a lil dos batch file to get what you want and the output from that batch file could be captured in a TXT document or something else

Not sure. Hard to describe it when the only reference I have is pop-culture osmosis.

It doesn't even need to look 100% legit.

I'm thinking of movies where someone is "hacking" into a computer and they usually show you a dos looking screen with various lines of text to the left indicating actions that the user or the computer has taken as the hacker goes deeper into the system.

Maybe just three or four lines of commands that would indicate someone is opening files and/or programs?

Not sure what else to describe beyond that. Sorry I can't be of more help.
