    In Microsoft’s Windows operating systems like Windows XP or in Vista we cant create folders with names CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9 directly from GUI. This is because, DOS device names are reserved words, and cannot be used as folder or file names.

    Easter eggs are fun, but I think the novelty is wearing off now. Games have a lot of those! Though.. the last easter egg I came across was at the end of Quake II.

    never quite understood them. Who has the time to press buttons at random to try and find something that may not be there?

    This is how you get it to work

    Open up Notepad
    Type in .LOG and then save (any filename)
    Close Notepad
    Open up Notepad again
    Go to file and open the previous file
    It should display the time..enjoy

    1.) Open an empty notepad file.
    2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
    3.) Save it with any file name with as .TXT file.
    4.) Close it, and re-open it.

    ITS TRULY HIDDEN!!! 😁

    well i don't know the reason. But i think creater of these softwares make some shortcuts for doing specific things and we call these tricks as Easter Eggs.

    As for the second thingy about "Bush hid the facts", it has to do with encoding. Notepad uses unicode character encoding and there's some problem with that.. I dont know the specifics, but the encoding is the reason..
