    TRY this....


    MAGIC #1

    An Indian found that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on
    the Computer which can be named as "CON". This is
    something funny and inexplicable? At Microsoft the whole
    Team, couldn't answer why this happened!
    TRY IT NOW, IT WILL NOT CREATE A "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.

    Noticed the weird bug? No one
    can explain!



    MAGIC #3

    Again this is something funny and can't be explained?
    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
    And see the
    magic?..!




    Magic #4

    Did you know that a flight number from one of the planes that hit one of the two WTC towers on 9/11 was Q33N. In Notepad / WordPad or MS Word, type that flight number i.e Q33N. Increase the font size to 72. Change the font to Wingdings. ….. u will be amazed by the findings!!!…………………..

    මේවා Magic නෙමේ බන්, හැබැයි අන්තිම එක ගැන නම් තාම විස්තරයක් නැ.

    MAGIC #1

    The "team" at Microsoft, and a great many others besides, know perfectly well why you cannot name a folder "CON". "CON" and a number of other character strings are in fact reserved names that go back to the days of DOS and cannot be used to name folders or files. Other reserved names are:
    • PRN
    • AUX
    • NUL
    • LPT1
    • COM1
    • Potential drive letter - A: to Z:
    • A number of others

    If you try to name a folder using one of these reserved names, the name will automatically revert to the default, generally "New Folder". Moreover, if you try to use a reserved name to name a file such as a Notepad or Microsoft Word document you will generally receive an error message



    MAGIC #2

    Alas, the truth is far less compelling. It appears that a lot of other character strings in the pattern 4 letters, 3 letters, 3 letters and 5 letters will give the same result. For example, the phrase "Bill fed the goats" also displays the garbled text


    MAGIC #3

    You can alter the results of the rand() function by adding numbers in the round brackets. The first number controls the number of paragraphs while the second number controls the number of sentences in each paragraph. For example, using "rand(3,5)" will add three paragraphs of five sentences each. Leaving the brackets empty will add the default number of paragraphs and sentences, which is set at three sentences and three paragraphs.

    Far from being a mystery, this is a well-documented feature of Microsoft Word that simply allows sample text to be quickly added to a document for testing purposes. Microsoft can in fact "explain the result" and does so in an article on the MS Support website.


    Magic #4

    There was no flight Q33N... the flights involved were...

    *American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston to Los Angeles
    * United Airlines Flight 175 from Boston to Los Angeles
    * American Airlines Flight 77 from Dulles to Los Angeles
    * United Airlines Flight 93 from Newark to San Francisco
