ive been told by many friends that someone is going to try to steal my xbox again, i was warned in advance last time and caught the person "Rott in hell you know who".  Ive been told its going to happen again by someone else and would really appreciate it if someone knows a way to make an automated task, like on december 14 2005 it will rename evoxdash.xbe on the c drive to haha.xbe and it would cease to work after rebooted next time, some type of script so if the xbox is on anytime after december 14 it will run the script or something of that nature, Any help would be appreciated, this is already my second xbox!

Thanks to anyone who helps!

How exactly is someone stealing your xbox? Do you bring it to school in your backpack or something? If so, just don't bring it... or sleep with a gun next to your bed.

live with 3 stoners and just about anything is possible, all i really want is an automated task, like Scheduled Tasks in windows.

1. move 2. it was one of the ppl who told u 3.i dont think there is a task manager type thing....lock it somewhere

im having a hard time trying to figure out what makes you think a script to rename the evo-x .xbe with somehow prevent your xbox from being stoled.

are you an idiot?

Dude just put a mastre pass on your box with XBMC as your main dash. Set max retrys to 1 and then if they dont know the xbox password it will reboot. And they wont be doing anything with your box except staring at all the shit you have locked..  

Works magically.. What a great feature you can lock everything.. and the only way they will get past it is if they are smart enough to reformat.

Works great for girlfriends too!

Ironically im in the same sitruation right now, a year later, i know it wouldnt stop them, but it would render it useless and i could know that a month or 2 whenever i decide Karma would get them, please someone help me, any suggestions, please dont flame, i really need some help here!

As suggested above, just enable the master lock.

Also ... Really? Are you serious?

What a bizarre thread!  

Dude... if you know your xbox is gonna get stolen.. why don't you do something about that rather than let them steal it..?

Any more background on this very strange scenario...?

forums of my life!

Crazy!!!

I think it's safe to assume that he too was stolen, along with his Xbox.

[DrPepperFan15]

funny... one of the stoners proboly put the matrix on his xbox and now he's plugged in... permanently!!! I couldve sworn the same thing happened to my friend but his situation was that he got stuck in the world of warcraft... heh

sound as you have good frends why have one if your having it stolen all the time.
