1.) Open an empty notepad file
2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3.) Save it as whatever you want.
4.) Close it, and re-open it.
Is it just a really weird bug?

weird....



Here is what a quick googl reveals...the bug has something to with a string of 4-3-3-5 long strings...e.g. abcd efg hij klmno will also do the same trick

Click to expand...

i.e. Instead of Bush hid the facts, try any other string with 4-3-3-5 characters. e.g. Gore ate the crows
 
A BLOGGER over at Wincustomise has discovered a way to break Windows Notepad.

It does not kill your machine or anything, but is light hearted entertainment for a Thursday morning.

What you do is open up Notepad, type in "this app can break" and save it to your hard drive.

Close Notepad and, when you open the saved file by double clicking it, Notepad will be unable to translate the file and spits out a random collection of characters.

According to another bog here, it is all to do with a limitation in Windows. Text files containing Unicode UTF-16-encoded Unicode are supposed to start with a "Byte-Order Mark" (BOM), which is a two-byte flag that tells a reader how the following UTF-16 data is encoded.

If it isn't there then the file cannot play properly. µ
