You cannot 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
#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.
#3
Open Microsoft Word and type
=rand (200, 99)
And then press ENTER
Bush one doesn't do anything on Vista 64, i'm sure the word one is something to do with filling in space to see what it looks like, no idea about the con one.
