1. Log Diary Trick
Have you ever wanted to make your
own diary on your computer ? Why
not try notepad..

2. The 4335 Rule
This trick may not work on all
computers
This has been surprising users for
quite some time. When you enter a
few secret codes, notepad hides
them.
Open notepad and type in BUSH HID
THE FACTS
Close notepad and open it again to
see the magic
Can you read it again ? This is called
the 4335 Rule. This means, if the first
word is four words, the second and
third as three words, and the fourth
as five words, then you follow the
4335 rule and the text is hidden.

3. Open a file using notepad
Here is a simple trick to open any file
or program with notepad.
Open notepad and type the
following:
Start path of file
Then save the file as Shortcut.bat
Please note that the file type should
be kept as ALL FILES while saving it
as a .bat file.
Change path of file with your actual
file path. For example if you have a
file called run with an extension .exe
in the folder TEST in C:\ drive, then
your path should be something like
this: C:\TEST\run.exe
If you want to open some
complicated programs such as
Firefox, then use this code:
START /d path of folder
program.extension
Change path of folder with the actual
path of the folder, and put the name
of the program with its extension.
For example if you have a file called
run with an extension of .exe in the
folder TEST in C:\ drive, then your
code should be something like this:
START /d C:\TEST run.exe
4. Make Questions

interactive ? Need to make
questions ? Here is an example of a
question made with notepad where
the user got the answer correct.
To do this, just type the following
code in notepad.

:Correct
echo You are right !!
GOTO END
:Wrong
echo You are wrong. This info was
really given by Fun PC Life
GOTO END
:END
PAUSE
goto EXIT
:EXIT
Now save the file as Question.bat
and run the file.
Please note that the file type should
be kept as ALL Files while saving it as
a .bat file.

To make this, open notepad and
type the following:
@echo off
color 2
:start
echo %random% %random%
%random% %random% %random%
%random% %random% %random%
%random% %random% %random%

G
ping localhost -n 1 > nul
goto A
Save the file as Matrix2.bat and run
the file.
The file type should be kept as ALL
FILES while saving a .bat file.
7. Lock Folders using Notepad
This trick may not work on all
computers
Lets say you want to lock a folder
named PICS in your D:\ drive , whose
path is D:\PICS
Then the code should be something
like this:
ren pics pics.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-
A2DD-08002B30309D}
Pics is your folder name. Use the
name of the folder in place for pics.
Save the text file as lock.bat in the
same drive.
To unlock this locked folder:
Open another new notepad text file
and type the following:
ren pics.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-
A2DD-08002B30309D} pics
Save the text file as key.bat in the
same drive. Here again, pics is the
name of the folder. Change it to the
folder you want to lock.
8. Make a fake Virus POP UP
Type the following code in notepad:
@echo off
msg * WARNING
msg * VIRUS ENTERED YOUR PC
Save the file as pop.bat and run it.
You should get two pop up
messages. There has been an issue
on some computers, but it should
work on most computers.
9. Create a command prompt Virus
message
Type the following in notepad:
@ echo off
title Virus
echo Your system is affected by virus
PAUSE
echo:
echo Windows will now try to undo
changes
PAUSE
echo:
echo FAILED !
PAUSE
echo:
echo Your system is corrupt
PAUSE
Save the file as virus.bat and run the
file.
10. Test your antivirus by EICAR
STANDARD ANTIVIRUS TEST
Now, you can check if your antivirus
really works. Type the following in
notepad:
X5O!P%@AP
[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-
STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H
+H*
Save the file as virus-test.txt
Scan the file. If your antivirus detects
this file as a virus and tries to
remove it, then you can be sure your
antivirus is a good one. This is a
much easier way, than actually
downloading a virus to test it. This
sample virus code is perfectly
harmless and allows you to test your
antivirus. A good antivirus like MS
Security Essentials will detect this
test virus even before you scan it.
