Easter egg in a notebook and calculator
The notepad has a key /. SETUP , it has been present in the program since the days of Windows 98, it may have been before. When a new version of Windows comes out, I always check if this key is preserved in Notepad. Recently, Windows 7 was released, checked - it did not go anywhere!
What makes this key? See for yourself.
Start => Run => notepad.exe /.SETUP
')
The notebook opens. If you try to click on it - it will not respond to clicks. And behind the notebook will start to show the icons of the desktop. Not so in Windows 7 - the icons behind the notepad can be moved with the mouse, but they are not visible through the application window.
In Windows XP it was possible to click on the notepad with the second button of the mouse in the taskbar, click “expand” and continue working with the notepad, although he had two scrollbars and the “minimize” button became inactive. In Windows 7, I did not succeed in this.
In addition, the /.SETUP key was still in the Calculator ( calc.exe /.SETUP ). The calculator launched with this key refused to count and showed the sequence 0e, + 1 instead of numbers (I don’t remember exactly, like this, there is nowhere to look at at the moment). In Windows 7, the calculator seems to have been rewritten, and now it does not respond to this key.
