Microsoft tricks

So, most of you must be knowing about the “The quick brown Fox Jumps over the lazy dog” bug. There is another real cool hack in Windows. So, if there is a guest account in your friends computer, open the guest account and open command prompt. Then in command prompt write “net user <username> <passwd>”, it will change the <username> password to the <passwd> you give it. Such a simple thing. Isn’t it?

Now here is another thing. 1 line of code can crach IE6. The line is :

<style>*{position:relative}</style><table><input></table>

You can find the original post here : http://immike.net/blog/2007/08/06/single-line-of-html-crashes-ie-6/
Happy IEing :P

  1. Cool stuff. I’m guessing that you don’t have to be an admin to do the password changing?

  2. No. You don’t need to be admin. You can do it with any account. Rather ‘guest’ account doesn’t even have password. You access guest account without any password. I have used this trick on Windows XP. ;)

  3. Do you know if it is fixed in Vista?

  4. Yes it’s fixed -
    It says
    system error 5
    access denied
