Ghost in windows

Type "cctc did for yours" without quotes in a notepad and save under any name.

Open the file.

What do you see?



OR

Does anyone know what the real problem is?

ya try typing "bush hid the facts" as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and there are much more such sentences which result in same output.

[siddes]

So when Bush is caught a few years down the line, all news articles with the phrase 'Bush hid the facts' will appear as ||||||||

??

This is not a ghost this is an easter egg

there are many more easter eggs in softwares/games/movies etc...

I know one is in photoshop

In adobe photoshop : go to help > press ctrl > click about photoshop

In winrar : click about winrar > click on the book icon

Its about unicode and ANSI compatibilty... its a bug in notepad. Notepad detects whether the opened file is ansi or unicode. Any 4-3-3-5 letter string passes detection as unicode, but when its actually ANSI, the characters in unicode format are displayed, which is clearly not the alphabets we enter.

you guys want a detailed explanation?
