Dear Readers, it's been long since we are using computers. without any doubts, it has become an essential part of our life. However we often end up doing the same stuff over and over again which makes it pretty boring. So after sometime of working with it we become frustrated due to the same old screen being in front of us. Certainly it is one of the most useful things but how about having some fun with it once in a while.
LET'S SEE HOW CAN WE MAKE OUR WORKING HOURS FUN..
Trick:1: Name the Folder CON
When you are working on your computer, go to Desktop (Main Screen), Make a New Folder and Name it CON then press Enter. Do you see the Magic??
Amazing, isn't it? Microsoft Windows cannot name a folder 'Con' and amusingly no one at Microsoft is able to explain it. J
Trick:2: Bush hid the facts
For this open a blank notepad, type above mentioned words in same way 'Bush hid the facts'. Now save it with any name. Close the file and re-open it. A Weird Bug, ain't it?
Like Trick:1 no one is able to explain this either. J
Trick:3: =rand(200,99)
Let's now move on to Microsoft Word. Open Microsoft Word and type above given command as it is and then press Enter. Amazed to see 567 pages of note turn up???
Well, including Bill Gates himself not a single person from Microsoft is able to answer this.
Trick:4: Q33N
This is something shocking. Open Notepad and type Q33N. Now Increase font size to 72 and change the fonts to Wingdings. Shocked!!! Wait Shocking is still to come.
Q33N was the flight number one of the planes which hit The Twin Towers on 9/11.
Trick:5: Movie On MS Paint
This Trick is very simple and fun. Have you ever thought about watching movie on MS-Paint? Sounds weird, doesn’t it? Well let me tell you that you can watch it. How?
