MAGIC WITH MICROSOFT PRODUCTS::cool:

MAGIC #1

An Indian discovered that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as "CON". This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable... At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn't answer why this happened!
TRY IT NOW ,IT WILL NOT CREATE " CON " FOLDER


MAGIC #2

For those of you using Windows, do the following:

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? :-??


MAGIC #3

Microsoft crazy facts

This is something pretty cool and neat...and unbelievable... At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened!

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

Open Microsoft Word and type

=rand (200, 99)

And then press ENTER
then see the magic...............................

CON is one of few reserved words in windows.

2) http://www.hoax-slayer.com/bush-hid-the-facts-notepad.html

any character string in the pattern 4 letter 3 letter 3 letter 5 letter will result in garbled letters after reopening notepad.

FYI. the line "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" has every letter of english alphabet and this can be used to test word.
