Explaination Crazy Facts :


About CON Folder
*
CON was a device name sinceDOS era & that's before the windows was introduced. CON is a special name that refers to CONsole, thus we can not use this keyword as this is reserved keyword in the Operation System.
People who used DOS are very much familier with this word as this was required to create a simple text file. As this command is still available, windows doesnot allow to use CON as a folder-name.
There are some more keyword which we cannot use as a name to any folder. These words are COM0 to COM9, LPT0 to LPT9, PRN,AUX and NUL.
But we still can create a CON folder
Go to the Command Prompt and type:
md .\con\

when you try to browse to that location, you see a CON folder now. However, you can not delete this folder from Windows Explorer, it wont allow it, To delete Folder
From Command prompt type:rd .\con\

*About Notepad
This is not the magic but this is called Easter Egg,
Easter eggs are messages, videos, graphics, sound effects, or an unusual change in program behavior that sometimes occur in a software program in response to some undocumented set of commands, mouse clicks, keystrokes or other stimuli intended as a joke or to display program credits.
It means, this was intentionally placed by the Windows developers as a joke. An Easter Egg is found on all Microsoft Windows Operating Systems prior to XP. You can find tons of easter eggs on the internet, and then you might say they’re all “magic”.

* About rand() in MS WORD
In Microsoft Word, rand()is used to generate a sample text. For Word 1998 to 2003, this function would generate “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” a few number of times depending on the parameters you specify inside the parenthesis.

For Word 2007, there are three methods to generate different sample texts depending on your language version such as rand(), lorem() and rand.old() functions

The rand() function has the following syntax:=rand(p,l)
Where p is the number of paragraphs,
and l is the number of lines that you want to appear in each paragraph.
