This post is an explanation to my previous post Windows XP Strange Facts

Fact 1 :

it’s because CON is a reserved-word used in MS DOS and is a short for CONSOLE additionally you also won’t be able to create folder named PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9.

Fact 2 :

Why is it, every time you write and save bush hid the facts it changed into different character set? well it’s not a conspiracy but rather a bug. the trick is to write something in a 4-3-3-5 formation, like this app may break or aaaa aaa aaa aaaaa note that those word contain a 4-3-3-5 string formation. To solve this problem you can just select the encoding type as UNICODE instead of ANSI while saving.

Fact 3 :

Type =rand(100,99) then press enter, and you will get a number of text as a result, this is not a bug but a function created to insert random words into the document automatically.

Fact 4 :
