Lets check some of the Magic in MS products.

MAGIC #1

An Indian discovered that nobody can
create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as "CON".
This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable... At Microsoft the whole
Team, couldn't answer why this happened!

Magic – 1

Con is reserved word in MS hence you can not create folder “CON”. Few other key words are
AUX -Auxiliary port aka Serial Port COM1
CON- Short for console, which Microsoft describes as the display monitor.
COM1 -COM port.
COM2 -COM port.
COM3- COM port.
COM4 -COM port.
LPT1 -LPT port.
LPT2- LPT port.
LPT3 -LPT port.
NUL -NULL

Solution to create CON folder

1. Goto command prompt
2. Type in prompt e:\> "mkdir \\.\e:\con"
3. Verify by typing "dir \\.\e:\con"
4. Delete the file or folder "rmdir \\.\e:\con"
   

Magic -2
It’s a problem with notepad.
It appears that a lot of other character strings in the pattern 4 letters, 3 letters, 3 letters and 5 letters will give the same result. For example, the phrase "Bill fed the goats" also displays the garbled text. In fact, even a line of text such as "hhhh hhh hhh hhhhh" will elicit the same results.

Magic -3
It's a test feature. It's been in Word for a long time.
You can vary the numbers to get a different number of results. The first number is the amount of lines, and the second the amount of times the sentence is printed per line. The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is a sentence that contains all 26 letters of the roman alphabet. As such, it's a convenient test phrase when testing things like fonts and markup.
