Re: Things which Microsoft can never exp

Magic #1
even u cant create any folder with name "aux ,PRN ..
If you want to know why this is not possible, the explanation is simple: CON is a reserved word in the Windows and the underlying DOS system. It has been like that for the last 25 years, and before that, in the the predecessor of MS-DOS, called CP/M.

"con" is a _old_ MS-DOS stuff!
So can create in DOS itself.

Start|Run|command.com/cmd.exe
mkdir C:con
mkdir \.C:con


copy C:junksol.exe C:con
dir C:con

rmdir /s C:con

Also works with other reserved device names: AUX/PRN/COMx/LPTx..etc



OR in other way you can name a Folder CON.
1- Press ALT and type 255 (ALT255)
2- than type in CON.

see i have done it lol ---> ######

......GOT IT...


for MAGIC #2 what i did ... save the file in diff encoding "no ANSI" see the below pic




MAGIC #3
yeah it shows ""The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
..... well foxes r brown,never know about that as they r mostly red,grey lol...

well here i found , its used to test word documents, as filler text and also to test fonts.
The first number is the amount of lines, and the second the amount of times the sentence is printed per line.
The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is a sentence that contains all 26 letters of the roman alphabet. As such, it's a convenient test phrase when testing things like fonts and markup.
It was programmed in there by Microsoft for test text. Its similar to a "macro".
In other word it's a special code, possibly for seeing how a font or typeface looks on screen.

Re: Things which Microsoft can never exp

^^ for magic 2, save in default encoding i.e. ANSI

try the last one..thats too good

Re: Things which Microsoft can never exp

Thnxx for showing curiosity...I hope u found it on your own without ny external help :P

Re: Things which Microsoft can never exp

yeah the third one i have taken help.. not now way back as all these tips/things r very old ... but the second one i dont know "the notepad one",just now only i have done it,,,as i save translated files to in that format so decided y not try that trick here
well updated the first one too..

Windows key + Pause/break = system information
Alt-255 = null character <--- this we use for that
Control-F4 = exits program
SHIFT+DELETE: Delete item permanently <-- this i daily use lol

windows key + e (hold for a few second) = <crash> ٩(●̮̮̃•̃)۶ --- this i have not try.. try it and say what happens


and the last one its all because of that windings fonts nothing else... well nice share

Re: Things which Microsoft can never exp

Re: Things which Microsoft can never exp

^ notice the resemblance b/w actual flight no of one of the planes that strcuk WTC and what that number shows in notepad...isn't that amazing? Had this been discovered b4 9/11...who knws? Such coincidences are very rare.

Re: Things which Microsoft can never exp

yeah agree with u ....

well here some more,well quite old

Notepad Trick !

1> Open Notepad
2> Enter four words separated by spaces, wherein the first word has 4 letters, the next two have three letters, and the last word has five letters
3> DON'T hit enter at the end of the line.
4> Save the file.
5> Close Notepad.
6> Reopen Notepad.
7> Open the file you just saved.

log trick !! make ur Notepad a diary !!

Sometimes we want to insert current data and time, whenever we open the file in the notepad. If you are a lazy person like me, who don’t like to press F5 whenever you open a notepad. Then here is a trick to avoid this. Just add a .LOG in the first line of your text file and close it.
Whenever you open the file with that text in the first line in the notepad, it will insert the current date and time at the end of the file. You can start entering your text after that.

WHY?

The reason this happens:

In notepad, any other 4-3-3-5 letter word combo will have the same results.
It is all to do with a limitation in Windows. Text files containing Unicode UTF-16-encoded Unicode are supposed to start with a "Byte-Order Mark" (BOM), which is a two-byte flag that tells a reader how the following UTF-16 data is encoded.

1) You are saving to 8-bit Extended ASCII (Look at the Save As / Encoding format)
2) You are reading from 16-bit UNICODE (You guessed it, look at the Save As / Encoding format)
This is why the 18 8-bit characters are being displayed as 9 (obviously not supported by your codepage) 16-bit UNICODE characters
