A classic non-prog method was to link C:\CON\CON in a chat room, it made Windows 95/98 bluescreen.


AOL would let you play wav files in a chat room that everyone, who had that file on their system, would hear. You could play the default AOL sounds like {S gotmail and everyone in the chat would hear "You've Got Mail". When someone found out you could send {S con\con or {s aux\aux, you could clear out an entire chatroom since all other chatters would get a BSoD.
