Hidden windows secrets

[Dito]

I use windows xp and I am sure that there are some hidden secrets that can be done in xp.

Do you know any if so please tell us all

* Type "=rand (200,99)" without the qoutes, in microsoft word and hit enter


* Try to create a folder named "con"... anywhere


* In Solitare hit Alt + Shift + 2


* C:\Windows\0.txt


* C:\Windows\clock.avi

nice one sloth I have allways liked the microsoft word one I just had to do it again then for fun, but I have never really looked into why you would want to make 236 pages of the same text lol

you can find the hidden ambient techno song that plays during the end of the operating system's install. They have it hidden like they don't want you to ever play it. The file extension is listed below.

C:/WINDOWS/system32/oobe/images/title.wma

the 0.txt should just open a blank document, thats the hidden part, its empty

and the title one should just play a song

Nice ones. I am playing the Windows Welcome Music. I don't even remember it anymore. It is pretty nice, like from a Final Fantasy game.

Any Minesweeper players here like me? This one is a fun cheat on revealing mines that I got somewhere. Launch Minesweeper, then type xyzzy. Next hold down either shift key for one second. When you move the mouse cursor over a Minesweeper square, there appears a tiny white pixel in the top left corner of the desktop screen which changes to black when the mouse moves over a mine.
