First of all:
It is impossible creating a folder called "CON" without the quotes. 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

Secondly:
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!
Only works on Some computers.

Thirdly:
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



This is pretty old and some of you might of heard of it but I'm just letting you know.

microsoft already answered the question why you cant name folders like following:
nul
com1
com2
con
Rolling Eyes just search google or www.gulli.com i've seen the answer there long time ago

thats some interesting bugs,
the bush thing is something to do with the amount of letters typed in

so
"bush hid the facts" has 4,3,3,5 letter words and that is supposed to be the bug,
it writes it in chinese charactors and prints squares or ???? if you have not got the chinese language pack installed


so "feee fii foo thumb" should work as well, bit of a shame I liked the bush version and thought a covert usurper in redmond would be fun,

any way thanks wikedpedia for explaining that one,


if you put in =rand(1,1) you will just get one line of that text,

comes out of the fonts descripton that lot lol.

nice never tried that one before either,


anyway thanks kpreet2000 made me look into some windows bugs I had not heard of

The first one is explainable, for the same reason you can't name an account "Administrator" etc. There's some reserved names you just can't use.
