    MAGIC 1"

    An Indian discovered that 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

    Not only the "con".

    Also, the following words comes under this category,

    AUX,
    PRN,
    CLOCK$,
    COM,
    LPT1,
    LPT2,
    LPT3,
    COM2,
    COM3,
    COM4,
    nul

    We can't directly create files and folders in these names from windows; because, these are
    all reserved words.
    But we can create files and folders in the name of reserved words! By using the command
    prompt

    Ex:-

    c:\> mkdir \\.\e:\con

    c:\> dir \\.\e:\con

    c:\> rmdir \\.\e:\con

    It’s applicable for all the reserved words in windows and DOS. Try it out..

    Note: The files and folders, which are all created in the above method, cannot be accessed
    directly from the windows. It will results in a not responding state
    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.

    MAGIC 3

    Open Microsoft Word and type

    =rand (200, 99)

    And then press ENTER


    Then see the magic...
