O.P. Code
Could anyone explain this code to me and tell me what it does/mean ?

code:
XCACLS H:\*.EXE /T /C /D %USERNAME% /Y
XCACLS H:\*.COM /T /C /D %USERNAME% /Y
XCACLS H:\*.VBS /T /C /D %USERNAME% /Y

It's a program at my school which I sent to myself. Probely one that disables everything. It's called StartRun.BAT

Thanks :)

RE: Code
For reference, see http://www.ss64.com/nt/xcalcs.html.

The XCACLS is the name of the program file that gets executed when this command is used, H:\*.EXE refers to all executable files on drive H, the parameter /T stands for "traverse all subfolders and change all matching files found", the parameter /C stands for "continue on access denied errors", the parameter /D followed by %USERNAME% means to deny specified user access and this will over-ride all other permissions the user has, and the parameter /Y stands for "replace user's rights without verify".

The lines after that have the same effect but for other file types.
