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

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.

Ok, thanks Tochjo.

Sorry for double post...

But what exactly (in simple terms) does this file do?
Restricts you from....

/D user  Deny specified user access, this will over-ride
            all other permissions the user has.

Keeps you from using it.
