BAD IDEA

First, to make such a change without a clear understanding of what it does is foolish. Second, to suggest others make such changes is irresponsible.

Following steps 1-5 will create a script that deletes one particular file on every shutdown. This file has just purpose - to optimize boot times. Steps 6-11 will remove a short delay during boot. It will also disable a second Hard disk or CD if present.

This particular piece of nonsense has been spreading the internet like a virus. Pay no attention to it.
