Here are some crazy things about Windows XP and Vista:
Nobody can create a folder anywhere on the computer which can be named as CON.
Try it now and I am sure you will not be able to create a folder with that name.
Here is the explanation: 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
Here's another one : At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened! Try this out:
Open Microsoft Word and type =rand (200, 99) and then press ENTER. You may copy and paste the characters I've yellowed out and paste it on MS Word and then hit enter. See what happens.

matagal na yang mga yan, maraming nakakaalam nyan, nilagay ko lang yung medyo hindi masyado known. wala na kasi ako maisip kanina, gusto ko magupdate kaso ala pumasok sa utak ko kaya old trick ang nilagay. Kahit sa Vista meron pa rin yang mga yan
