- when starting windows from DOS enter a very long sequence of letters
- after 'win'
- eg:
-
- win aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
- aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
-
- sequence should wrap to next dos line .. press Return !!!
- Click OK to the normal message about "aaaaaaa... not found"
-
- On all the systems I've tried this .. the program
- manager loses all its icons..
-
- It's a pretty dumb thing to do....but its hard to see
- how this should affect the program manager..after all
- its just an invalid filename..
-
- hmmm.. maybe it's to get back at people who hit their keyboards.
