MAGIC - 1
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
This is something pretty cool and neat... and unbelievable...
At Microsoft the whole team, including Bill Gates, couldn't
answer why this happened!
Try it out yourself...
Open Microsoft Word and type
=rand (200, 99)
And then press ENTER
MAGIC - 3
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?
You can try the same thing above with another sentence 'this app
can break'
Explanation for Magic - 1:
In windows the folder name and the
special system variables share the same interface, so when you
create a folder with a system variable name it will consider
that folder already exist!!
These special system variables are available irrespective of
path.
You cannot create a folder with these names also:
CON, NUL, COM 1, COM 2, COM 3, LPT 1, LPT 2, LPT 3,COM1 to COM 9 and
LPT1 to LPT9....
CON means console, COM 1 means serial port 1, LPT1 means parallel
port 1 ** ** **
