Microsoft Crazy Facts
Posted on October 10, 2007 at 10:10 pm .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, COM1, COM2, COM3, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3,COM1 to COM9 and LPT1 to LPT9….
CON means console, COM1 means serial port 1, LPT1 means parallel port 1
Interesting? please comment.












You missed out EXPLANATION FOR #2 - Its a feature of word 9an easter egg)
and also, EXPLANATION FOR #3 - Its a bug with the istextunicode() function of windows. Anything with the format 4335 (first word 4 letters, second and third 3 letters and last word 5 letters) will bring up the bug.
