Show us your eggs....
Easter eggs that is!

What's an easter egg? "An easter egg is a hidden message or feature in an object such as a movie, book, CD, DVD, computer program, or video game. It occurs 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. The term draws a parallel with the custom of the Easter egg hunt observed in many western nations." Wikipedia

Here's one...

Windows XP Home Edition - Star Wars Episode 4 a New Hope

1. Open Windows XP and go to Start, then run.
2. Type in or copy telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
3. Sit back and watch the ASCII movie

If you know of any others, please share!

In freecell,

Push Ctrl + Shift + F10 during game play. Then you will be asked if you want to Abort, Retry or Ignore. Choose Abort, then move any card to instantly win.

Again, this isn't a real easter egg but it's fun anyway...
Do you remember the startup music from when you installed XP? It's still hidden on your system. Just open C:\Windows\system32\oobe\images\title.wma in your favourite audio player and enjoy.

Okay, here's a 9/11 secret in Windows. I do find it kind of disturbing though.
Go to WordPad, or any other word procesing program. Then, in the font Wingdings, type in "Q33NY"
Q33 = The flight number
NY = New York City
