Microsoft magic(how is it?)

Three things that even Microsoft can't explain! 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…..!

Computer Science engineering section is meant for technical discussions. Thread moved to Chit-Chat.

What you have mentioned is NOT magic. In fact, #3 is a 'feature' of Microsoft Word.

#magic 1 : explanation:
This implies device name CON : implies console
similarly you cant create "com1", "lpt1", "com2" . and many more are there, each implying a device name.its not some bug.

How ever you create CON folder using mkdir command in command line.

Not only with the command line we can also create it with help of ascii values in normal windows it self ...TRY...
create folder with any of these(CON,LPT,NUM,AUX)..
hold alt+0160 .enter
then see.....
