Microsoft Windows. In Microsoft Windows, it is not possible to create or rename a file or folder called CON (case insensitive). This has been subject to a hoax that claims Microsoft is unable to explain why.
In reality, however, CON, along with PRN, AUX, COM# (where # is a digit) and NUL, are. There were features needed to be turned on while Windows 95 was tested, and the secret of turning them on was not removed. Some of the desktop features, including full window drag and anti-aliased fonts, could be turned on by placing the line ILOVEBUNNY32=1 under the Windows section in win.ini.
DeskBar was a feature Microsoft planned to introduce in Windows 98. This would allow users to download desktop toolbars (deskbars) from their favorite websites. These mini-toolbars could update themselves automatically at predefined times, supplying the latest information from the websites without the need to launch a web browser.
Microsoft did implement this feature in Windows 98 beta builds, but webmasters showed little interest and the feature was subsequently hidden in the Windows 98 RTM version. Windows includes a number of MIDI files for troubleshooting purposes. In Windows 3.1, CANYON.MID and PASSPORT.MID can be found in the directory:WindowsMedia, with some.WAV and.RMI files. In Windows ME and later versions, these were replaced by ONESTOP.MID, FLOURISH.MID, and TOWN.MID. These files allows for product support technicians to diagnose problems with MIDI playback without requiring the user to go to a Web page and download an known-good MIDI file. FLOURISH.MID was also used by 9.0 (included in dxdiagn.dll and replaced DXDIAG.MID which was included in older versions) to test.
CSSAMP1.MID can also appear if Canon drivers are installed. In Windows XP, a music file titled title.wma (an environmental mix by) is found in WINDOWSsystem32oobeimages folder.

This is the background music played during the initial configuration wizard used to perform tasks such as setting up user accounts the first time that a new installation of Windows XP is used. In Windows Server 2003 and some builds of Longhorn, title.wma is updated (No Hay Problema by ).

In this mode, the user can drag the ball with the mouse cursor, and can press H to instantly get a high score, R to increase rank, M to display system memory, and Y to show frame rate. Typing '1max' at the start of a new ball awards an extra ball. Similarly, the user can type 'gmax' to activate the gravity well, 'rmax' to go up a rank, and 'bmax' for unlimited balls (this last one results in an endless game, thereby precluding activation of the other cheats until the game is restarted).
