So, i have had some computers lost and stolen, so in order to make things difficult, we always have our devices Bitlocker encrypted and bios admin password protected by default with usb boot disabled.
How ever, as computers are stolen there is a chance it comes online, so why not protect that data by deleting the user account data and even killing Windows in an attempt to make the thieves throw it a way or even leaving it somewhere for police or any one for that matter to find?
Warning! don't run this script unless you know what you are doing! Im not liable for damage or lost files if you run this on your own computer as it will be chrashed and needs re-install.
