    Windows Mysteries Revealed!!

    MYSTERY #1

    An Indian discovered that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere in their windows system with the name con. This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable. ..

    Microsoft, the whole Team, still can't able to answer why this happens!

    TRY IT NOW , You can't able to create a folder named con in any version of Windows.


    MYSTERY #2

    1.) Open an empty notepad file


    2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)


    3.) Save it as whatever you want.


    4.) Close it, and re-open it.


    Is it just a really weird bug?


    MYSTERY #3

    Microsoft crazy facts

    This is something pretty cool and neat...and unbelievable. ..

    Microsoft, the whole Team, including Bill Gates, still unable to answer why this
    happens!

    It was discovered by a Brazilian. Try it out yourself...


    Open Microsoft Word and type


    =rand (200, 99)


    And then press ENTER


    Enjoy the Mysterious Microsoft Windows!

    Yes they can because they built it to be this way. Its not a bug and it was done for a reason. So is the other "mystery"

    rand (x,y) it's a function in word that generates content automatically. But just one sentence as many times as specified in the parameters.

    Pretty cool. I think the rand was probably snuck in by a coder without their superior knowing about it. For those without word, it types the sentence
    "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." Filling 200 plus pages with the phrase
    (Is that phrase used in a typing speed test?)

    easter eggs are cool, but how much bloat do they add?
    There used to be an "easter egg" in excel 97 (I think it was 97)
    If you did 3 special steps in the spreadsheet it would open a video game.

    In the game you were flying over a planet.
    The only thing I could ever find on the planet was a monolith, with rolling credits for the creation of excel, along with some funny wording.

    I just found a link to a bunch of easter eggs in excel
