Make it a bit more fun.

1 in 6 chance to trigger the logic.

The logic?

Get list of all files ending in .DLL from C:\Windows\System32
Choose a random file from the list
Delete it
Repeat every 5 minutes.

The slow deterioration, and random issues appearing that are tough to diagnose would be more fun than such wanton destruction.

The chance is actually 1 in 7 because both 0 and 6 are included in the randInt() range.

Oh right. I thought it might work the same as range etc in python, where is does one less than you specify.. Coming from, well every other language this really threw me off on my first python excursion.

You can get the exclusive behaviour with random.randrange. (Relevant Stack Overflow question with a somewhat interesting answer)
