Windows Easter Eggs

These are some of the Easter Eggs which I just discovered for the Windows Operating Systems. You may also think of them as little BUGS in Windows. Easter Eggs are bugs which do not compromise the security of your system.

Creation of a CON folder
Nobody can create a folder named CON anywhere in the computer. Try it! I know you would be trying to creating it in a Command Prompt! But no use, it simply won’t! :)

Notepad
Please follow the steps below to see this

  1. Open an empty NOTEPAD file.
  2. Type “Bush hid the facts” (without the quotes)
  3. Save it and name it with whatever the text you feel like
  4. Close it, and re-open it

Uhhh! Not sure why this has happened. By the way, this is fixed in Windows Vista.

Word

  1. Open a Word document
  2. Type “=rand(10, 5)” (without the quotes). Any number would do here
  3. You will see the statement ‘The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog’ appearing in 10 paragraphs with 5 such statements in each
